Currently, we generate the dependency graph in a single command, piping
the stdout of support/scripts/.graph-depends to the stdin of dot.
Unfortunately, this means we can't catch a failure of graph-depends, as
the shell can only treturn the exit code of the last command in a pipe.
Still, we do want to keep the output of graph-depends, and we in fact do
keep it by mean of a tee.
graph-depends has just gained the ability to generate its output to a
file, so we break the pipe in two differnet commands, so we can bail out
on graph-depends errors.
Do that for the two call sites.

Currently, we set HOSTARCH to the output of `uname -m`. This gives us
the architecture as seen by the running kernel. For example, we would
end up with 'x86_64' for a 64-bit kernel running on an x86_64 processor.
We use that value to determine whether we can run some binary tools,
like our pre-configured external toolchains.
However, one may be running a userland in a different bitness than that
of the running kernel. For example, one may run in a 32-bit chroot, even
though the kernel is running in 64-bit.
Up until recently, this was not an issue because the pre-configured
external toolchains were all requiring an i386 (x86 in Buildroot
parlance).
But since we introduced the latest Linaro toolchains, we now have
toolchains that require a 64-bit userland.
So, when running on a 64-bit kernel, we believe those toolchains are
available, even when the user is running a 32-bit userland. This causes
build failures for our autobuilders, like so:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9cd/9cdf10ec5b31144b2e03ea09cf128702339895b3/
with the following symptoms:
>>> toolchain-external undefined Configuring
Cannot execute cross-compiler '/home/test/autobuild/instance-3/output/host/opt/ext-toolchain/bin/aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc'
So, instead of relying on the output of `uname -r`, look for the host
gcc and extract the target it was configured to generate code for.
Fixes:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/9cd/9cdf10ec5b31144b2e03ea09cf128702339895b3/ (aarch64)
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/888/8889aa7d9fb48370e4760a6edbc6d3ae945f02f2/ (arm)
and many more...
Besides fixing those issues, it will also allow us to add the 64-bit
variants of toolchains when they exist, like the upcoming Codescape
MTI and IMG toolchains for MIPS from Imagination Technologies.

Currently, the check that packages we build are indeed enabled is done
at the time a package is configured.
This can come quite late in the build process, and does not provide
direct knowledge of the real culprit for the incorrect dependency.
However, we can improve these two issues quite easily, albeit at the
expense of a very slightly more complicated make code.
First, the check can not be done at the time we define the package, i.e.
in the inner-generic-pacakge, because all its dependencies might have
not been parsed yet, so we can't yet know whether it is enabled or not
(because we can't match the package name of the dependency to its
Kconfig variable yet).
But then, we know we have all packages definitions after we scanned the
the bundled packages, kernel, bootloaders and toolchains, as well as the
br2-external tree (if any).
So, at this location, we iterate through the list of enabled packages,
and check that the packages they each depend on are indeed enabled.
This allows us to:
1- do the check very early, before any build action,
2- report on the exact offending package very easily.

The ldconfig handling in the main Makefile is utterly broken, as it
calls the build machine ldconfig to generate the ld.so.cache of the
target. Unfortunately, the format of the ld.so.cache is architecture
specific, and therefore the build machine ldconfig cannot be used
as-is.
This patch therefore simply drops using ldconfig entirely, and removes
/etc/ld.so.conf.d/ from the target skeleton. The idea is that all
libraries that should be loaded by the dynamic linker must be
installed in paths where the dynamic linker searches them by default
(typically /lib or /usr/lib).
This might potentially break a few packages, but the only way to know
is to actually stop handling ldconfig.
In order to be notified of such cases, we add a check in
target-finalize to verify that there is no /etc/ld.so.conf file as
well as no /etc/ld.so.conf.d directory.

Dumping our 176164 variables can take quite some time (~12s here). What
takes the most time is sorting the variables (~9s), followed by the
parsing of our Makefiles (~3s), with the actual printing in the noise.
However, sometimes only one or a few variables are needed. For example,
one may want to retrieve the Linux build dir from a post-build hook (to
get the Linux' actual .config after our fixups and check for various
features).
Add the possibility to only dump the variables listed in $(VAR) which
must be passed as a make argument, like so:
$ make -s printvars VARS="LINUX_DIR TOPDIR O"
LINUX_DIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/linux-4.3 ($(BUILD_DIR)/$(LINUX_BASE_NAME))
O=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/. (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/.)
TOPDIR=/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot (/home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/buildroot)
It is also possible to use make-appterns, like:
$ make -s printvars VARS="BUSYBOX_%"
This is much faster (the time is just about the time it takes to parse
our Makefiles, 3s here) and easier to parse.

When the target uses a merged /usr setup, gdbserver will only report
paths in /lib to the remote gdb, which in turn will only look for

So. the merged (or non-merged) /usr setup must be replicated in the
staging.
The best solution where to do so is in the skeleton package, since it
is guaranteed to come before any package that installs things in the
staging, and even before the (internal or external) toolchain as well.

One of the selling points for br2-external is to provide a mean to add
new packages. However, it is not supported that a package be defined by
Buildroot and then redefined in a br2-external tree.
This situation may occur without the user noticing or even willing to
redefine the package, for example:
- br2-external is first created against a version of Buildroot
- a package (missing in Buildroot) is added to that br2-external tree
- upstream Buildroot adds this package
- user updates to the new Buildroot
In this case, the result in undefined, and we can't make any guarantee
on the result (working or not).
Add a sanity check so that a package redefinition gets caught.

The FOO_SITE/FOO_SOURCE variables usually point to a tarball containing
source code.
For the downloaded external toolchains this is not true, the "source"
tarball actually contains binaries. This is fine for making Buildroot
work, but for legal-info we really want to ship real source code, not
binaries.
Luckily, some (hopefully all) toolchain vendors publish a downloadable
tarball containing the source code counterpart for their binary
packages.
Here we allow the user to declare the URL of this other tarball in the
pair of variables FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL (by default equal to
FOO_SOURCE) and FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_SITE (by default equal to FOO_SITE).
If the "actual source" package can be downloaded from the same
directory as the binary package, then only FOO_ACTUAL_SOURCE_TARBALL
needs to be set.
Note this change is not strictly toolchain-specific: it might be useful
for other packages that happen to ship binaries in the same way.

protections to make sure they don't use the value of $O if it comes from

Commit bee5745c introduced an extra level of 'make' when the umask is
different from 0022. However, when several targets were specified on
the command line, a new make instance would be called for each target.
This introduces a huge performance overhead when many targets are
specified on the command line.
To fix this, use the same approach as used in the mkmakefile script:
an addition target on which the MAKECMDGOALS depend, so that this
target is run only once.
Note that the mkmakefile script contains a special exception for
Makefile, because the Makefile in the output directory is generated.
Since the top-level Makefile is not generated, this exception is not
needed here.
While we're at it, also fix the whitespace in the UMASK assignment.

The boost and jack2 packages fail to build when PARALLEL_JOBS is empty
so instead of using an empty PARALLEL_JOBS don't use it in the MAKE
variable when top-level parallel make is being used.
To simplify the use of top-level parallel make, check the MAKEFLAGS
variable to know automatically if the -j option is being used, also use
the "=" operator instead of the ":=" operator because the MAKEFLAGS
variable can be checked only in a "recursively expanded variable".
The "override" keyword must be used in order to change the automatic
variable "MAKE".
When the top-parallel make is being used the sub-make are called without
specifying the "-j" option in order to let GNU make share the job slots
specified in the top make. This is done because GNU make is able
to share the job slots available between each instance of make so if you
want to increase the number of jobs you just need to increase the <jobs>
value in the top make -j<jobs> command.
If we specify the -j<jobs> option in each instance of make, it is less
efficient, e.g. in a processor with 8 cores we specify -j9 in each instance:
the number of processes goes up to 81 because each sub-make can execute
9 processes. The excessive number of processes is not a good thing
because in my tests even -j16 is slower than -j9.
Instead if we don't specify the -j<jobs> option in the sub-make, the top
make share the job slots automatically between each instance, so the
number of process in this examples goes up to 9 that is faster than
using up to 81 processes.
e.g. when the -j3 option is specified only in the top make:
possible state n. 1:
process 1 - <packagea>-build
process 2 - <packagea>-build
process 3 - <packagea>-build
possible state n. 2:
process 1 - <packagea>-extract
process 2 - <packageb>-configure
process 3 - <packagec>-build

CMake verbose mode is based on VERBOSE environment variable.
* If VERBOSE is exported but empty, only "Dependee ... is newer than
depender ..." messages are shown.
* If VERBOSE is exported and set (whatever the value), all compilation
commands are shown.
VERBOSE is currently systematically exported by Buildroot, even if it
is empty, in the root Makefile, which implies that the "light" verbose
mode - with "Dependee ... is newer than depender ..." messages - is
always enabled.
VERBOSE should only be exported when V=1, which is the standard way to
enable verbose mode in Buildroot.

BR2_DEFCONFIG should not be present in saved defconfig file.
The use case is:
make qemu_arm_versatile
make savedefconfig BR2_DEFCONFIG=my_custom_defconfig
BR2_DEFCONFIG is set in my_custom_defconfig with an absolute path
to qemu_arm_versatile (value present in .config) and set in
my_custom_defconfig as it is different from default mentioned in
config.in (default is BR2_DEFCONFIG from environment).
On savedefconfig recipe, simply remove BR2_DEFCONFIG from generated file
