In English, unlike in French, almost all usages of the word 'information'
are uncountable, meaning that 'informations' is invalid.
This patch fixes this typo throughout the tree, except in CHANGES and
docs/news.html (historic text).

python-numpy needs to be installed to the staging directory, since it
also installs some header files. Therefore, this commit extends the
Python package infrastructure to support staging installation.

The inner-xxx-targets in the buildroot package infrastructures are
evaluated using $(eval) which causes variable references to be a bit
different than in regular make code. As we want most references to be
expanded only at the time of the $(eval) we should not use standard
references $(VAR) but rather use double dollar signs $$(VAR). This includes
function references like $(call), $(subst), etc. The only exception is the
reference to pkgdir/pkgname and numbered variables, which are parameters to
the inner block: $(1), $(2), etc.
This patch introduces consistent usage of double-dollar signs throughout the
different inner-xxx-targets blocks.
In some cases, this would potentially cause circular references, in
particular when the value of HOST_FOO_VAR would be obtained from the
corresponding FOO_VAR if HOST_FOO_VAR is not defined. In these cases, a test
is added to check for a host package (the only case where such constructions
are relevant; these are not circular).
Benefits of these changes are:
- behavior of variables is now again as expected. For example, setting
$(2)_VERSION = virtual in pkg-virtual.mk will effectively work, while
originally it would cause very odd results.
- The output of 'make printvars' is now much more useful. This target shows
the value of all variables, and the expression that led to that value.
However, if the expression was coming from an inner-xxx-targets block, and
was using single dollar signs, it would show in printvars as
VAR = value (value)
while if double dollar signs are used, it would effectively look like
VAR = value (actual expression)
as is intended.
This improvement is for example effective for FOO_DL_VERSION, FOO_RAWNAME,
FOO_SITE_METHOD and FOO_MAKE.
The correctness of this patch has been verified using 'make printvars',
'make manual' and 'make legal-info' before and after applying this patch,
and comparing the output.

Thanks to the 2 previous patches of the series, BR_PATH contains
all locations in which host-packages may install programs.
This patch replaces the occurrences TARGET_PATH and HOST_PATH with
BR_PATH, everywhere these variables are used in the *.mk files.

Some packages need a host-python interpreter with a version different
from the one installed in the target to run some build scripts (eg.
scons requires python2 to run, to build any kind of packages even if
the python interpreter selected for the target is python3).
In such cases, we need to add the right host-python dependency to the
package using the host-python-package infrastructure, and we also want
to invoke the right host python interpreter during the build steps.
This patch adds a *_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON variable that can be set either
to 'python2' or 'python3'. This variable can be set by any package
using the host-python-package infrastructure to force the python
interpreter for the build. This variable also takes care of setting
the right host-python dependency.
This *_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON variable only affects packages using the
host-python-package infrastructure.
If some configure/build/install commands are overloaded in the *.mk
file, the right python interpreter should be explicitly called.
If the package defines some tool variable (eg.: SCONS), the variable
should explicitly call the right python interpreter.
[Thomas:
- fixes to the commit log and documentation suggested by Yann
- rename the variable from <pkg>_FORCE_HOST_PYTHON to
<pkg>_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON, as suggested by Yann
- do not allow any other value than python2 and python3 in
<pkg>_NEEDS_HOST_PYTHON, as suggested by Yann.]

This commit improves the Python package infrastructure to allow Python
packages to be built with Python 3. The changes are fairly simple:
* Use either PYTHON_PATH or PYTHON3_PATH as the PYTHONPATH depending
on which Python is used.
* Depend on host-python or host-python3 and python or python3
depending on which Python is used.

Thanks to the bump of Python 2.x, distutilscross is no longer needed
to achieve cross-compilation for setuptools packages. The host Python
2.x interpreter can be tricked into using the target compiler thanks
to pointing it to a different sysconfigdata module, which is achieved
using PYTHON_PATH.

With the upcoming bump of Python 2.x, it will become important that
the PYTHONPATH is passed whenever we build third-party packages, be
they using the distutils build mechanism, or the setuptools build
mechanism. This is because passing PYTHONPATH is what will allow
Python to find a special Python module that contains all the
compiler/library/headers definitions that are relevant when
cross-compiling.

This commit makes the dependency from the target toolchain explicit.
This way we can buid from command line a package that use
inner-generic-package right after the configuration phase, example:
make clean <package-name>
Also remove TARGETS_ALL because the only purpose was to add toolchain
dependency so it's superseded by this commit.
To prevent circular dependency add the new variable
<pkgname>_ADD_TOOLCHAIN_DEPENDENCY to avoid adding the toolchain
dependency for toolchain packages.
This is also a step forward supporting top-level parallel make.

When calling make 'functions', the $(call) keyword is only needed if the
function takes arguments. For pkgdir, pkgname and pkgparentdir this is not
the case, so we can remove the call to make things more readable.

This commit improves the cross-compilation patches we have on top of
Python, to fix the problem of host library paths leaking into the
build of target modules, as seen at:
http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/fcc/fccd7e08cd9d4713eb4208097dd48c5ab25749bc/build-end.loghttp://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/0bd/0bda780bf4b759b12edec26ac20b88cde617db4d/build-end.log
To do so, it ensures that the right python2.7/config/Makefile is used
when building target modules, and adjusts at runtime the paths read
from this Makefile if we are cross-compiling.
In addition, it installs the pgen program into the host directory, and
points the target python build to use python and pgen from $(HOST_DIR)
instead of from the host python source directory, which looks cleaner.

Make the python packing a bit easier to use by providing a detailed error
message if <pkg>_SETUP_TYPE isn't set to a valid value.
At the same time adjust the error message used when <pkg>_SETUP_TIME isn't
set to list the exact variable name that should be set, and don't talk about
'Unknown' as it isn't printed when the variable isn't set (or is set to the
empty string).
