As discussed in the BR developer days, we want to be more strict about API
changes in buildroot. I.e., we want to make it less likely that a user's
customizations break down after upgrading buildroot.
A first step is to make sure that the user is warned about API changes.
This patch introduces Makefile.legacy and Config.in.legacy, which will
issue clear error messages for such situations.

The flex binary uses fork() so it breaks on !MMU builds.
Since we usually don't require flex in the target and the common
scenario is that we just want libfl in staging reverse the options so
that BR2_PACKAGE_FLEX just builds and install libfl.a and change the
LIBFL option to BR2_PACKAGE_FLEX_BINARY to install the binary in the
target.

The /var/www directory is listed in /etc/passwd in the skeleton target
filesystem as the home directory of the www-data user (uid 33).
In the final target filesystem, /var/www should be owned by www-data. This
is important for the lighttpd package, for example.

When building gdb for the host, we properly pass the PATH (through
HOST_CONFIGURE_OPTS) during the configure step, but we forget to do so
for the compilation step.
The result of this is that when the Crosstool-NG backend is used, gawk
is built and installed in $(HOST_DIR), as a dependency of the
crosstool-ng package.
Then, the host gdb configure script detects this gawk binary
($(HOST_DIR) is in the PATH), and assumes gawk is
available. Unfortunately, during the compilation step, it fails to
find the expected gawk binary, because $(HOST_DIR) is no longer in the
PATH. This causes the following build failure:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/067d0c2ea01673ba98ec11de2426f1ab92dac800/build-end.log
In order to fix this, we simply call the compilation step of gdb for
the host with $(HOST_MAKE_ENV), as it should have been done from the
beginning.

The libpcap package contained some interesting attempts to support a
static-only build, but it was not working:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/01038d3b970092d894d2bae80679247e65722785/build-end.log
In fact the configure.in of libpcap has provision to support
--enable-shared/--disable-shared, but the generated configure script
in the libpcap package has not been regenerated with the configure.in
changes.
So basically, enabling LIBPCAP_AUTORECONF=YES ensures that the
configure script gets generated, which brings us a working
--enable-shared / --disable-shared.

The depends-on-vs-select part of the manual really deserves its own
section title (especially because it is referred to and the xref gets
a 'sinpara' in PDF if the section doesn't have a title). So restructure
the surrounding sections to reduce the section nesting depth.

So change this into an example with _INSTALL_TARGET = NO, and explain in

Newer kernels had a slight change in the random number API so the OCF
patchset requires a slight tweak to build and run properly.
Affected kernels are, per series:
>=3.0.41, >=3.2.29, >=3.4.9, >=3.5.2 and any newer version.
The fix is applied by detecting the API change rather than guessing the
kernel version.

As Thomas Petazzoni has pointed out, the compile command lines incorrectly
contain host header and library search paths, such as the following.
-I/home/peko/scratch/host/usr/include/freetype2
-L/home/peko/scratch/host/usr/lib -lfreetype
This patch changes the lcdproc package to pass the freetype installation
prefixes on the configure command line.
