There is no need to break the "\n" sequence using "%sn". We can just
escape it. Note: the escaping backslash needs to be escaped too,

Older distributions such as CentOS6 come with python2.6, which causes build
failures in packages such as host-libglib2 because they require python2.7 and
above.
host-libglib2 will produce the error message:
/bin/sh: python2.7: command not found
Python2.7 is a hard-coded value in configure.ac. If one changes the value to
just "python," the following stack trace is produced:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./gdbus-2.0/codegen/gdbus-codegen.in", line 55, in <module>
self.outfile.write(LICENSE_STR.format(config.VERSION))
ValueError : sys.exit(codegen_main.codegen_main())
zero length field name in format
Instead of supporting an ancient version of Python that had its support ended
in October os 2013, it would be more pragmatic only to support Python2.7 and
above.
Luckily; CentOS6 has the centos-release-scl repository, which allows users to
install python2.7, and Debian 8 comes with Python2.7 already, making this patch
relatively low impact.

A person on IRC reported a build failure with the util-linux package,
looking like this:
for I in uname26 linux32 linux64 ; do \
cd /home/aep/consulting/chargery/tracker/output/target/usr/bin && ln -sf setarch $I ; \
done
[...]
/bin/sh: line 1: ./ln: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/bin/sh: line 1: ./ln: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
/bin/sh: line 1: ./ln: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error
The issue was an empty path in the PATH variable, which means "current
working directory", causing a "ln" binary built by util-linux for the
target to be used instead of the system-provided "ln".
We already check a number of things in the PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
variables in support/dependencies/dependencies.sh, but we were not
checking that PATH did not contain an empty path.
This commit fixes that and takes this opportunity to simplify the test
code for PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Although the UTF-8 locales in mainstream distributions all are suffixed
with just 'utf8', the nomenclature is a bit ambiguous with the way they
are to be specified with the various LC_* variables, suffixed there with
'UTF-8'.
Also, POSIX, ISO, and IEC do not enforce any specific suffix in LC_*
variables:
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/V1_chap08.html#tag_08_02
"""
If the locale value has the form:
language[_territory][.codeset]
it refers to an implementation-provided locale, where settings of
language, territory, and codeset are implementation-defined.
"""
To avoid any confusion, use a regexp that is a bit more lax when
matching locales.
Also, quote the regexp, so that the '?' and '$' are not interpreted by
the shell.

The script support/scripts/check-uniq-files uses the argparse Python
module. In most recent Python versions (starting with 2.7), the
argparse module is part of the standard library, and we already check
for the availability of Python in
support/dependencies/dependencies.sh.
However, when running on an ancient distribution with Python 2.6, the
argparse module is not part of the Python standard library, but
available as an external module. Without this module, the build fails,
because check-uniq-files, which is used in target-finalize, fails to
run.
To avoid this failure, this commit adds a check in
support/dependencies/dependencies.sh to verify that the argparse

Recently, the autoconf macros for libtool started using '/usr/bin/file'
to determine the type of library that is generated by the toolchain.
Packages that use this recent version of the libtool autoconf macros
will fail in a rather dramatic way when /usr/bin/file is not present
on the host: the package will still build but no shared library is
generated, which in turn may cause build failures in other packages
that link with it.
For example, libpng's configure determines that it is not possible to
build a shared library on MIPS64 because the expected output from 'file'
is not present. Therefore, only a static libpng.a is built. Later,
bandwithd links with -lpng but it doesn't use the pkg-config's
Private-Libs (because it's not linking statically) and it doesn't have
access to the NEEDED reference from the shared library. Therefore, it
doesn't link with zlib and fails with
pngrutil.c:(.text+0x55c): undefined reference to `inflate'
We cant use host-file because it is itself an autotools package and is
itself using libtool, so this would be a chicken-n-egg problem. Besides,
the libtool script really wants to call /usr/bin/file, so it would not
even find our host-file anyway.
So, just require that '/usr/bin/file' is present on the host.

When we set LD_LIBRARY_PATH when building our host tools, we append any
pre-existing value to our custom path:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$(HOST_DIR)/usr/lib:$(LD_LIBRARY_PATH)"
But then if LD_LIBRARY_PATH was previously empty, we end up with an
LD_LIBRARY_PATH that ends with a colon.
Also, when we check that an existing LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not contain
CWD, we previously did not look for a zero-length prefix.
Since 'man ld.so' says of LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
A colon-separated list of directories in which to search for ELF
libraries at execution-time. Similar to the PATH environment
variable.
And POSIX states about PATH:
A zero-length prefix is a legacy feature that indicates the current
working directory.
And bash also recognises a zero-length prefix to search in CWD:
A zero-length (null) directory name in the value of PATH indicates
the current directory.
We may thus end up on a system where a zero-length prefix in
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is interpreted as CWD.
Do not append the previous LD_LIBRARY_PATH if it was empty, and check
for a zero-length prefix when checking dependencies.

XBMC needs Java on the host in order to build, because it uses a

to parse C++ header files that define the API. SWIG outputs an XML file
that contains a complete description of the structure of the API. In the
second phase, the XML file is ingested by a Groovy (Java) program that then
creates C++ code that forms the bridge to the scripting language (Python).
The second phase is why we need java on the host.

Many users trying to use external toolchains on x86-64 machines get a
very confusing message:
"Can't execute cross-compiler"
They get this message because they forgot to install the 32 bits
compatibility libraries that are needed to run binaries compiled for
x86 on x86-64 machines.
Since this is the case for both external toolchains and certain
binary-only tools like SAM-BA, we add a new Kconfig option
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS, that packages must select if they need
the 32 bits compatibility libraries. When this option is enabled,
dependencies.sh checks that the 32 bits dynamic library loader is
present on the system, and if not, it stops and shows an error.
The path and name of the 32 bits dynamic loader is hardcoded because
it is very unlikely to change, as it would break the ABI for all
binaries.
Also, it is worth noting that the check will be done even if we're
running on a 32 bits machine. This is harmless, as 32 bits machines
necessarily have the 32 bits dynamic loader installed, so the error
will never show up in this case.
