So we don't end up pulling in host-busybox (which doesn't exist) if
KMOD_TOOLS is enabled.

Since kmod 14, the support for building a static library has been
removed completely from kmod. Therefore, we mark kmod as
!BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB, as well as all its reverse dependencies, which
includes the option to use the "udev" /dev management method.
[Peter: show comment for udev when BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB is enabled]

Since module-init-tools is deprecated, we now want to use kmod instead
for the installation of modules during the kernel build process. In
order to do this, we need to be able to build a host variant of kmod,
which is want this patch allows to do.
Note that only the depmod tool is installed on the host, since that's
the only one likely to be used on the host in a cross-compilation
context.
[Peter: needs AUTORECONF for the host as well. Fix comment while we're at it]

The libkmod is licensed as LGPL, while the kmod tools are GPL.
We always install libkmod, but conditionally install the tools.
This patch adjusts the license variables accordingly.

This bug caused udev to fail to load any module, crashing with Illegal
instruction.
The patch was taken from upstream and should be integrated in the next
version of kmod (version 14)
