It is often difficult to know exactly when make will expand the
variable, and usually it can only be expanded after the dependencies
have been built (e.g. pkg-config or the .pc file). Using a backtick
instead makes it very clear that it will be expanded only while
executing the command.
This change is useful for two cases:
1. The per-package staging (and host) directory will be created as part
of the configure step, so any $(shell ...) variable that is used in
the configure step will fail because the directory doesn't exist
yet.
2. 'make printvars' evaluates the variables it prints. It will therefore
trigger a lot of errors from missing .pc files and others. The
backticks, on the other hand, are not expanded, so with this change
the output of 'make printvars' becomes clean again.
This commit contains only the easy changes: replace $(shell ...) with
`...`, and also replace ' with " where needed. Follow-up commits will
tackle the more complicated cases that need additional explanation.
After this change, the following instances of $(shell ...) will remain:
- All assignments that use :=
- All variables that are used in make conditionals (which don't expand
the backticks).
- All variables that only refer to system executables and make
variables that don't change.
- The calls to check-host-* in dependencies.mk, because it is eval'ed.

The Buildroot coding style defines one space around make assignments and
does not align the assignment symbols.
This patch does a bulk fix of offending packages. The package
infrastructures (or more in general assignments to calculated variable
names, like $(2)_FOO) are not touched.
Alignment of line continuation characters (\) is kept as-is.
The sed command used to do this replacement is:
find * -name "*.mk" | xargs sed -i \
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*$#\1 \2#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\]\+\)$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\s*\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\)\s*$#\1 \2 \3#'
-e 's#^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\)\s*\([?:+]\?=\)\(\s*\\\)#\1 \2\3#'
Brief explanation of this command:
^\([A-Z0-9a-z_]\+\) a regular variable at the beginning of the line
\([?:+]\?=\) any assignment character =, :=, ?=, +=
\([^\\]\+\) any string not containing a line continuation
\([^\\ \t]\+\s*\\\) string, optional whitespace, followed by a
line continuation character
\(\s*\\\) optional whitespace, followed by a line
continuation character
Hence, the first subexpression handles empty assignments, the second
handles regular assignments, the third handles regular assignments with
line continuation, and the fourth empty assignments with line
continuation.
This expression was tested on following test text: (initial tab not
included)
FOO = spaces before
FOO = spaces before and after
FOO = tab before
FOO = tab and spaces before
FOO = tab after
FOO = tab and spaces after
FOO = spaces and tab after
FOO = \
FOO = bar \
FOO = bar space \
FOO = \
GENIMAGE_DEPENDENCIES = host-pkgconf libconfuse
FOO += spaces before
FOO ?= spaces before and after
FOO :=
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
FOO =
$(MAKE1) CROSS_COMPILE=$(TARGET_CROSS) -C
AT91BOOTSTRAP3_DEFCONFIG = \
AXEL_DISABLE_I18N=--i18n=0
After this bulk change, following manual fixups were done:
- fix line continuation alignment in cegui06 and spice (the sed
expression leaves the number of whitespace between the value and line
continuation character intact, but the whitespace before that could have
changed, causing misalignment.
- qt5base was reverted, as this package uses extensive alignment which
actually makes the code more readable.
Finally, the end result was manually reviewed.

Since the trailing slash is stripped from $($(PKG)_SITE) by pkg-generic.mk:
$(call DOWNLOAD,$($(PKG)_SITE:/=)/$($(PKG)_SOURCE))
so it is redundant.
This patch removes it from $(PKG)_SITE variable for BR consistency.

The lmbench package generates a binary that is too large for the xtensa default
placement of literals in a dedicated section. Use -mtext-section-literal to
place literals in the text section.

Finally get rid of all := used for variable definitions in packages,
as we suggest in our manual and during the review of new packages.
While I was at it, I also sometimes added a few missing new lines
between the header and the first variable definition.

Thanks to the pkgparentdir and pkgname functions, we can rewrite the

repeat its name and the directory in which it is present.

The CONFIG_UPDATE macro is no longer defined in
package/gnuconfig/gnuconfig.mk, but instead in
package/Makefile.autotools.in. It it also changed a little bit to take
the directory of the package sources as argument, and the AUTOTARGETS
infrastructure is updated to use this macro.
