649ce56f19 host-perl-module-build: new package
Some Perl packages depend on very recent versions of Module-Build
which are not yet shipped with a stable perl version.
But the cpan client is able to update Module-Build as pre-requirement.
On Buildroot, we must install the latest Module-Build.

8dbab113a0 host-perl-xml-parser: rename and refactor with perl infrastructure
Even though libxml-parser-perl had a Config.in file with an option to
enable it on the target, this option was hidden by a dependency on
BR2_HOST_ONLY. So in practice, it was not possible to enable
libxml-parser-perl on the target. This allows us to rename
libxml-parser-perl to perl-xml-parser to follow the new naming
convention of Perl packages, without having to introduce
Config.in.legacy material.

In addition to this rename, the package is converted to use the newly
introduced Perl package infrastructure.

5e26da4673 docs/manual: rephrase paragraph about unsupported external toolchains
The ELDK now relies on Yocto, so it no longer has the funky
non-standard way of doing multilib. Also, we didn't mention that Yocto
toolchains/SDK are not suitable for usage with Buildroot. Therefore,
this commit rewords this part of the documentation to explain that
Yocto/OpenEmbedded SDKs cannot be used as external toolchains in
Buildroot, and why.

6c1ee14b29 package/linux-headers: add comment to safely ignore missing cross-compiler
For some architectures (eg. Arc, Cris, Hexagon, ia64, Parisc, Score and
Xtensa), the Linux buildsystem tries to call the cross-compiler when
installing the headers.

This is a spurious call, since a cross-compiler is not needed at all to
install the headers.

As some users have reported the issue, just add a comment in linux-headers.mk
directing the user to ignore those errors.

ffd7a00aef alsa-lib: add patch to remove hardcoded -ldl
The AM_PATH_ALSA macro in utils/alsa.m4 unconditionally uses -ldl. This
breaks compilation of alsa-utils (and probably other packages using this
macro) for targets that do not support dynamic loading, such as for
Blackfin FLAT binaries.

This patch updates the macro to check if dlopen is available, and use that
result to conditionally add -ldl to the list of libraries.

cb7c12f58c pixman: fix patch for FE_DIVBYZERO detection
In commit a9baea4345 ('pixman: add patch
to fix Microblaze build failure'), a patch is added to the pixman
package to avoid using the FE_DIVBYZERO definition when it is not
available. However, it was using the have_fe_divbyzero variable to
define or not HAVE_FEDIVBYZERO, while the AC_CHECK_DECL autoconf macro
sets the ac_cv_have_decl_FE_DIVBYZERO variable.

The end result was that the FE_DIVBYZERO macro was considered as never
being available. This commit fixes that by using the appropriate
variable.

70ee9fcdfc binutils: install libiberty
Some packages (actually, just oprofile) need to link against libiberty.
This option just installs libiberty.a so it has no effect on the target,
therefore it's not needed to add a config option for it.

Before binutils-2.24, there was a bug in libiberty/Makefile.in that
caused libiberty to be installed regardless of the
--enable-install-libiberty option. This problem wasn't noticed before
because binutils-2.24 is not selected on any of the autobuilders: the
version can only be selected if an internal toolchain is used, and it
defaults to 2.21.

The Microblaze build of pixman was failing due to FE_DIVBYZERO not
being implemented. It turns out that the usage of it, like fenv.h and
feenableexcept() is optional. So the patch simply adds a configure

tests anyway).

This commit also renames the existing patch to follow the patch naming
convention, and get a reliable ordering when applying patches.

c64f948d2c toolchain: introduce a toolchain knob for NPTL
As our architecture support expands to a number of architectures that
do not implement NPTL threading, and the number of packages that
depend on NPTL specific features, it has become necessary to be able
to know whether the toolchain has NPTL support or not.

This commit adds a new BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NPTL hidden Config.in
option that allows packages to know whether NPTL is available or not.

This hidden option is:

 * Automatically enabled when glibc/eglibc or musl toolchains are
   used, either internal or external.

 * Automatically enabled when an internal uClibc toolchain with NPTL
   support is configured. It is left disabled otherwise for internal
   uClibc toolchains.

 * Configured according to a visible Config.in option for custom
   external uClibc toolchains.

5ddfe76889 libcgi: fix build failure on pure static library builds
libcgi always builds both the shared and static library, which doesn't
work on architecture that don't support shared library at all, such as
Blackfin with the FLAT format. libcgi uses autoconf, but not automake,
and the Makefile is not of the highest possible quality, so this
commit fixes the problem by introducing a "STATIC" variable that can
be set from the environment. When set to a non-empty value, the
Makefile assumes it should only build the static version of the
library.

Note that this package is in desperate need of some care: there is one
single patch that mixes several changes together, it doesn't have a
description or a Signed-off-by line, and there is now a github project
for libcgi at https://github.com/rafaelsteil/libcgi/ that has the same
fixes.

However, for the purpose of the master branch, we're doing the most
minimal fix possible, by just adding this STATIC variable.

50c33ad125 iputils: disable on older uclibc versions
Disable when using a uclibc version before 0.9.33 since dn_comp
function support was added in this version. Also disabling on AVR32
since any AVR32 toolchain will be based on a uclibc version older
than 0.9.33 (for using an external AVR32 toolchain).

[Peter: use dn_comp instead of __dn_comp]

35787b822d distcc: deprecate package, only useful for development
Since quite a while, we have deprecated, and then removed the support
to build a compiler on the target. Therefore, having a distcc package
for the package is quite useless, and this patch consequently marks it
as deprecated so it can be removed in a future version of Buildroot.

Fixes:

a524731012 manual: add explanations on limitations about using O=...
Using a relative path for O=... has limitations, since it is interpreted
relative to the Buildroot tree, and thus may lead to unexpected results.

For example, running this:
    make -C buildroot O=my-O

will not create my-O in the current working directory, but as a
sub-directory of the Buildroot tree, here in buildroot/my-O

Explain this in the manual (as is similarly done for BR2_EXTERNAL).
Also add a note that $(O) will be created if missing.

Also change O=.. and -C .. to O=<...> and -C <...> to make it explicit
this is an ellipse, not a relative path.

1de64ec8c0 manual: switch BR2_EXTERNAL examples to use absolute paths
Although it is possible to use relative paths, there are a few pitfalls
when doing so.

To avoid confusion for a (newcoming) user, use absolute paths in the
manual (as is done in examples for $(O)), since it is guaranteed to be
working without corner cases.
