The ncftp build process tries to build and run a small program called
ccdv to beautify the build process output. If it manages to build and
run it, then it uses it.
Unfortunately, this doesn't work well when the target architecture is
close to the host architecture, but not exactly the same. Because both
architectures are close to each other, the test run of ccdv succeeds,
but real use of ccdv during ncftp build process causes an Illegal
instruction issue.
This for example happens with the CodeSourcery AMD64 toolchain, on a
build machine running an i7-4600U, and has been detected in the
autobuilders since the CodeSourcery AMD64 toolchain was upgraded at
the end of January:
http://autobuild.buildroot.net/?reason=ncftp-3.2.6
The issue was also reported by Christopher Arguin back in July 2016:
http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/buildroot/2016-July/168026.html
and at the time, we identified that simply disabling the ccdv tool, by
passing --disable-ccdv, was enough to solve the issue. But Christopher
never submitted the patch, so the problem remained unfixed.
Therefore, we pass --disable-ccdv to the configure script, which
fixes:

When I saw this patch it took me a while to figure out how/why it worked,
so let's make life easier for the eventual version bumper to understand
what's going on here.

The cross-compilation test is based on the ability to run
a test program on the host, which is wrong.
If it runs, then the configure script concludes
that we're doing native compilation,
if it doesn't run, we're doing cross-compilation.
The configure script needs to be regenerated to fix the
cross-compilation test.

In the Config.in file of package foo, it often happens that there are other
symbols besides BR2_PACKAGE_FOO. Typically, these symbols only make sense
when foo itself is enabled. There are two ways to express this: with
depends on BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
in each extra symbol, or with
if BR2_PACKAGE_FOO
...
endif
around the entire set of extra symbols.
The if/endif approach avoids the repetition of 'depends on' statements on
multiple symbols, so this is clearly preferred. But even when there is only
one extra symbol, if/endif is a more logical choice:
- it is future-proof for when extra symbols are added
- it allows to have just one strategy instead of two (less confusion)
This patch modifies the Config.in files accordingly.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the
AUTOTARGETS macro in a way that avoids the need for each package to
repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

Subentries of a menu automatically gets hidden if the dependencies of the
menu element aren't available, so get rid of the individual depends on
BR2_PACKAGE_NCFTP.
