Commit f13477b (linux: config.in: add comment for Arm Cortex-M) added a
comment so that the user that the linux kernel may miscompile with
binutils 2.29+, when the target is an armv7m CPU.
However, the real trigger is a compilation in thumb2 mode, which happens
to be the only option for armv7m CPUs.
We can't know whether the kernel will be built in arm or thumb2 mode,
though, because we do not have that information: it is only available in
the Linux' .config file, which we don;t have access to at the time we
run our menuconfig.
So, relax the conditions under which the comment is made, so that it
appears as soon as binutils are >= 2.29 (i.e. not 2.28, which is the
oldest we support) for ARM CPUs.

Kconfig uses either pkg-config or hard-coded /usr/include paths to find
the ncurses or ncursesw library. If ncursesw is found, it will include
<ncursesw.h>. Since Buildroot's host-ncurses doesn't install a .pc file,
and linux.mk anyway doesn't pass the pkg-config options to find the host
pkg-config files, Kconfig will always find the system's ncursesw.h.
However, since commit dde090c299 (linux: fix passing of host CFLAGS and
LDFLAGS) HOST_LDFLAGS is passed to the linux build system. Thus, if
host-ncurses was already built before 'make linux-menuconfig' is called,
the build will pick up libncurses from the host directory, which is NOT
widechar. Thus, two different ncurses configurations are mixed into the
final mconf program. This will result in serious breakage in the
rendering of the menus (lots of @ and question mark characters).
As a workaround (suggested by Yann), don't pass HOST_CFLAGS and
HOST_LDFLAGS when running kconfig commands. For kconfig, we should never
need host packages anyway. This way, the kconfig calls will always use
the system's ncurses and never our host-ncurses.
Note that the same problem could pop up for other kconfig packages as
well if we ever pass HOST_CFLAGS/HOST_LDFLAGS to them. We could force
HOSTCC=$(HOSTCC) directly in kconfig-package. However, for now there
are no other packages that exhibit this problem, so this can be
revisited when they do.

We were passing HOSTCFLAGS="$(HOSTCFLAGS)" to Linux. However:
- HOSTCFLAGS in Buildroot doesn't exist, and is empty, so this
assignment never did anything. The name of the variable in
Buildroot in HOST_CFLAGS.
- HOSTCFLAGS in Linux isn't used everywhere, and passing it overrides
the default HOSTCFLAGS value defined in the main Linux kernel
Makefile.
In addition, there is no way to pass additional host LDFLAGS in the
Linux kernel build system.
Therefore, we simply shoehorn our HOST_CFLAGS and HOST_LDFLAGS while
passing HOSTCC to the Linux kernel build system. This has been tested
to work fine with host OpenSSL and host libelf only available in
$(HOST_DIR).

Currently, the rule to rebuild the Linux kernel with an initramfs
directly depends on the path of the file of the intermediate cpio image.
This is inherently "bad" from a purity point of view; linux.mk should
not have to delve into the fs internals.
Rather, make it directly depend on the "frontal" rule that generates the
cpio image.
Drop the comment for linux-rebuild-with-initramfs, it was misleading
(talking about generating "the initramfs list of files", which is not
what was done, since we use a cpio as source of initramfs, not a list of
files).

The LINUX_KCONFIG_FIXUP_CMDS are meant to deselect any compression
option that are not selected in the buildroot configuration. But it only
deselects the last one in the list instead of all of them because it
overwrites the LINUX_COMPRESSION_OPT_ variable instead of appending to

This produces the warning:

A long time ago, the blind config option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE
was introduced to be able to trigger the linux -> host-uboot-tools
dependency. Back in those days, there was no user-configurable
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS.
Now, however, it is possible to select a custom kernel image name that
needs uboot-tools, and manually enable BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS. In
this case, however, the linux -> host-uboot-tools is missed and the
build is not reproducible. An example of such a situation is the
upcoming CI40 defconfig.
As a solution, remove BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_UBOOT_IMAGE entirely. Instead,
just select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS and add the dependency if it
is selected.
Note that this may introduce a redundant dependency in case the user
selected BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UBOOT_TOOLS for some other reason (e.g. to
be able to generate a U-Boot environment to include in the image, while
the kernel is built as a zImage). However, the redundant dependency
shouldn't hurt much.

The kernel source tree also contains the sources for various userland
tools, of which cpupower, perf or selftests.
Currently, we have support for building those tools as part of the
kernel build procedure. This looked the correct thing to do so far,
because, well, they *are* part of the kernel source tree and some
really have to be the same version as the kernel that will run.
However, this is causing quite a non-trivial-to-break circular
dependency in some configurations. For example, this defconfig fails to
build (similar to the one reported by Paul):
BR2_arm=y
BR2_cortex_a7=y
BR2_ARM_FPU_NEON_VFPV4=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_GIT=y
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_URL="https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux.git"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_CUSTOM_REPO_VERSION="26f3b72a9c049be10e6af196252283e1f6ab9d1f"
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_DEFCONFIG="bcm2709"
BR2_PACKAGE_LINUX_TOOLS_CPUPOWER=y
BR2_PACKAGE_CRYPTODEV=y
BR2_PACKAGE_OPENSSL=y
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBCURL=y
This causes a circular dependency, as explained by Thomas:
- When libcurl is enabled, systemd depends on it
- When OpenSSL is enabled, obviously, will use it for SSL support
- When cryptodev-linux is enabled, OpenSSL will depend on it to use
crypto accelerators supported in the kernel via cryptodev-linux.
- cryptodev-linux being a kernel module, it depends on linux
- linux by itself (the kernel) does not depend on pciutils, but the
linux tool "cpupower" (managed in linux-tool-cpupower) depends on
pciutils
- pciutils depends on udev when available
- udev is provided by systemd.
And indeed, during the build, we can see that make warns (it's only
reported as a *warning*, not as an actual error):
[...]
make[1]: Circular /home/ymorin/dev/buildroot/O/build/openssl-1.0.2h/.stamp_configured
<- cryptodev-linux dependency dropped.
>>> openssl 1.0.2h Downloading
[...]
So the build fails later on, when openssl is actually built:
eng_cryptodev.c:57:31: fatal error: crypto/cryptodev.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
<builtin>: recipe for target 'eng_cryptodev.o' failed
Furthermore, graph-depends also detects the circular dependency, but
treats it as a hard-error:
Recursion detected for : cryptodev-linux
which is a dependency of: openssl
which is a dependency of: libcurl
which is a dependency of: systemd
which is a dependency of: udev
which is a dependency of: pciutils
which is a dependency of: linux
which is a dependency of: cryptodev-linux
Makefile:738: recipe for target 'graph-depends' failed
Of course, there is no way to break the loop without losing
functionality in either one of the involved packages *and* keep
our infrastructure and packages as-is.
The only solution is to break the loop at the linux-tools level, by
moving them away into their own package, so that the linux package will
no longer have the opportunity to depend on another package via a
dependency of one the tools.
All three linux tools are thus moved away to their own package.
The package infrastructure only knows of three types of packages: those
in package/ , in boot/ , in toolchain/ and the one in linux/ . So we
create that new linux-tools package in package/ so that we don't have to
fiddle with yet another special case in the infra. Still, we want its
configure options to appear in the kernel's sub-menu.
So, we make it a prompt-less package, with only the tools visible as
options of that package, but without the usual dependency on their
master symbol; they only depend on the Linux kernel.
Furthermore, because the kernel is such a huge pile of code, we would
not be very happy to extract it a second time just for the sake of a few
tools. We can't extract only the tools/ sub-directory from the kernel
source either, because some tools have hard-coded path to includes from
the kernel (arch and stuff).
Instead, we just use the linux source tree as our own build tree, and
ensure the linux tree is extracted and patched before linux-tools is
configured and built.

We used to do a special handling of Linux kernel modules when stripping
target binaries because there's some special precious data in modules
that we must keep for them to properly operate. This is for example true
for stack unwinding data etc.
It turned out there're cases when our existing "strip --strip-unneeded"
doesn't work well. For example this removes .debug_frame section used by
Linux on ARC for stack unwinding, refer to [1] and [2] for more details.
Now Linux kernel may strip modules as a part of "modules_install" target
if INSTALL_MOD_STRIP=1 is passed in command line. And so we'll do
allowing kernel decide how to strip modules in the best way.
Still note as of today Linux kernel strips modules uniformly for all
arches with "strip" command, so this commit alone doesn't solve
mentioned problem but it opens a possibility to add later a patch to the
kernel which will strip modules for ARC differently - and that's our
plan for mainline kernel.

This reverts commit 73da2ff6f7.
The reason for adding support for a local location was to be able to do
development on the Linux kernel source tree on a local directory rather
than have to clone it for every build.
We already have a mechanism for that, it's called override-srcdir. It's
been available since September 2011, more than a year before this patch
was committed.
Otherwise, we're going to be adding support for local sources in other
packages. First was U-Boot as submitted by Adam. But what next? We can't
have such support for all packages, especially since override-srcdir
does the job.
Besides, using a local source tree makes the build non-reproducible, so
we don't really want to have this in a .config (or defconfig).
We only handle the boolean option in legacy, as there is nothing we can
do with the directory path.

The cpupower linux tool needs gettext, always (even without locales).
We need to disable NLS, otherwise it tries to compile the .po files.
We also need to pass -lintl, otherwise it forgets to link with it
(because, the world is glibc-only, you did not know? And glibc does not
need we link with -lintl, so why would we? Oh, yes, we also reinvented
our super intelligent one-off Makefile rather than use one of the

To configure the Linux kernel, we currently provide two options:
1. Passing a defconfig name (for example "multi_v7"), to which we append
"_defconfig" to run "make multi_v7_defconfig".
2. Passing a path to a custom configuration file.
Unfortunately, those two possibilities do not allow to configure the
kernel when you want to use the default configuration built into the
kernel for a given architecture. For example, on ARM64, there is a
single defconfig simply called "defconfig", which you can load by
running "make defconfig".
Using the mechanism (1) above doesn't work because we append
"_defconfig" automatically.
One solution would be to change (1) and require the user to enter the
full defconfig named (i.e "multi_v7_defconfig" instead of "multi_v7"),
but we would break all existing Buildroot configurations.
So instead, we add a third option, which simply tells Buildroot to use
the default configuration for the selected architecture. In this case,
Buildroot will configure the kernel by running "make defconfig".

Commit ab74e09eb4 renamed the dtc host tool
provided by linux to linux-dtc to avoid clashes with the dtc host tool
provided by host-dtc.
However, external scripting may well rely on the existence of a device tree
compiler as $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc, regardless of its source. Changing
these external scripts to use linux-dtc means that the scripts need to be
aware of the buildroot release they are working with, which is not very
nice.
Add a symlink dtc->linux-dtc when no $(HOST_DIR)/usr/bin/dtc is present.
When host-dtc is not enabled, the end result will be dtc and
linux-dtc representing the same thing.
When host-dtc is enabled, either it is build before linux and no symlink
is created at any time, or it is build after linux, and the 'install'
command in host-dtc will overwrite the symlink with a proper dtc. In both
cases, the end result will be dtc and linux-dtc representing a different
thing.

Since quite some time, the kernel and bootloader communities consider
zImage as the default format for kernel images on ARM, replacing
uImage. The load address information in uImage is no longer needed,
since the kernel is position-independent in terms of physical address,
except on a few old platforms. For most people, using zImage is simply
better/simpler, so let's switch to zImage as the default image format
on ARM.
All defconfigs are updated: 46 defconfigs no longer need to select
explicitly zImage because it's the default, and 16 defconfigs now need
to explicitly select uImage because that's no longer the default.

This patch adds the ability to compile and install the kernel
selftests into the target at /usr/lib/kselftests. The rationale behind
/usr/lib is that the selftests have subdirectories where they are
installed which makes them unsuitable to be placed in /usr/sbin as
this would result in /usr/sbin/kselftests/x/y/z. While the selftests
aren't libraries either, they don't achieve much as a standalone
binary so they can be considered to be a 'library of tests' making
/usr/lib sensible.
The selftests require that the kernel headers be installed into the
kernel build tree as some of the selftests have a hardcoded CFLAGS to
include kernel headers (CFLAGS += -I../../../../usr/include/). This is
most easily achieved by using the make ... headers_install inside the
kernel build dir.
This is likely to be a rarely used debugging/performance feature for
development and unlikely to be used in a production configuration.

The perf buildsystem, inside the kernel, is not really amenable to be
easily used...
Regarding the documentation, it will forcefully try to detect asciidoc
and, with the latest versions, xmlto, completely disregarding what the
user may provide.
We currently pass ASCIIDOC= (the empty string) on the make command line,
as an attempt to disable building the documentation, but that has no
effect whatsoever on perf: that variable is not passed down to the
sub-sub-make (yes, a two-level depth) that is responsible for building
the documentation.
We really do not want to build any of the documentation (the user can
refer to the documentation on his own development machine), so we use a
little dirty trick: we provide a GNUmakefile beside the existing
Makefile for the documentation; GNUmakefile always takes precedence over
a Makefile when both are present. We only provide a catch-all-no-recipe
rule in that GNUmakefile, so it really does nothing useful, except avoid
building the documentation.

Kernels older than 3.9 (not counting stable releases) used the
timeconst.pl perl script for their build process.
The problem with this script is that it used deprecated perl features,
namely defined(@array) which was removed for the perl 5.22 release,
causing build failure of older kernels on newer distributions.
To fix this instead of going the hard way (moving to the new
timeconst.bc script) use the easy way by patching timeconst.pl with an
upstream patch used for stable releases.
First try a dry-run on the patch to see if it applies, if it does then
call a proper APPLY_PATCHES to it.
Tested against an arbitrary 2.6.30 kernel (applies and builds), against
4.4.1 for a missing timeconst.pl (does not apply since it's missing) and
3.8.13 (does not apply since it's fixed already).

Some heavily (and most often improperly) modified Linux kernels may export
new APIs to userland, so as to speak to custom hardware or custom kernel
facilities.
However, we currently have no easy way to use such kernels as a source
for the linux-headers package, which precludes having those userland
headers intalled for userland applications to use them.
We do have a way for the kernel to use the same version as for the
headers, but that is definitely not enough, as the linux-headers package
has a version choice that is far less versatile and capable than that of
the linux package.
Add a new option for the linux-headers package, for the user to specify
that the version (really, the sources) of the kernel be used to install
the headers from.
We do that by making linux-headers patch-depend on the linux package.
We can't have linux-header simply depend on linux, because the simple
dependency means the the dependee will be configured, built and installed
before the dependent is configured. And since linux is a target package,
it depends on the toolchain, which internally dependes on linux-headers,
which would depend on linux, and we'd get a circular dependency.
Using patch-depend will ensure that linux is extracted and patched
before linux-headers is extracted, which is really all we need.
Then, we install the headers from the linux source tree, rather than
from linux-headers' source tree (as there's nothing in there!).
Since we need to install a private set for uClibc (see cde947f, uclibc:
prevent rebuilding after installation to staging), we explicitly set
INSTALL_HDR_PATH when calling the kernel' install-headers rule in
LINUX_HEADERS_CONFIGURE_CMDS, so that the headers are installed in
linux-headers' $(@D) instead of linux' $(@D).
Finally, as there is no way to know the kernel version in this case, we
must still prompt the user for the kernel series the headers are from
(like we do for a custom version) and check for consistency at build
time.
Note however that this still leaves users that want to built their
such-kernel outside of Buildroot out in the cold.

Currently, packages that need the kernel to have support for laodable
modules have two ways to require it:
- either the use the kernel-module infra, which does it automatically,
- or they do not use it, and they need to require it manually by
setting the corresponding Makefile variable; however, they must only
set it when they are actually enabled, which makes for a slightly
cumbersome and ugly code, like:
ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_FOO),y)
LINUX_NEEDS_MODULES = y
endif
Introduce a new blind Kconfig option that packages can select to signify
they need kernel modules. That Kconfig option is then used to set the
Makefile variable.
It makes it cleaner:
- code is simpler (one Kconfig line instead of a Makefile if-block,
- this is handled at the Kconfig level, which is where we usually
handle such dependencies.
Packages will be updated in follow-up commits.

Currently, the linux.mk logic for appended DTB image does the
appending of the DTB in place, directly at the end of the zImage using
a >> sign. This is incorrect because if you run "make linux-rebuild"
multiple times, you get the DTB appended over and over again to the
image.
Since keeping the 'zImage' or 'uImage' name for the appended DTB image
is not very clear, this commit moves to using the 'zImage.<dtb>' and
'uImage.<dtb>' format. This way, we can clearly distinguish the
original image from the appended one.
In addition, this naming scheme easily allows to generate *multiple*
appended DTB images: from one zImage, you can generate multiple
zImage.<dtb> for several DTBs, and then generate (if requested) the
corresponding uImage.<dtb>.
To achieve this, this commit:
- Changes the definition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB to iterate over
$(KERNEL_DTS_NAME), and generate a zImage.<dtb> image for each of
them.
- Changes the addition of LINUX_APPENDED_DTB for appended uImage to
also iterate over $(KERNEL_DTS_NAME).
- Provide a different implementation of LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE which
installs all the appended DTB images (but not the bare image)
- Remove the checks that verified that only one DT name is passed
when appended DTB is used, since we now support generating multiple
DT images.

- LINUX_INSTALL_IMAGE is a new make macro that also takes on

The Linux buildsystem tries to run the compiler even just for
'kernelrelease' (which we store in LINUX_VERSION_PROBED) and we
sometimes need to use it before the toolchain is available; thus
we get spurious errors on stderr.

This commit add an infrastructure to build linux kernel
tools available in the kernel sources.
Currently, the only linux kernel tool packaged in Buildroot
is perf and it's packaged as a separate generic package.
This is a problem for licence information raised in this
thread [1].
Since these tools require to build a Linux kernel, we can
use some hooks in linux package like we did for linux
extensions [2] and remove the perf package.

The ktap package requires some parts of the kernel tracing
infrastructure to be enabled, especially
CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. However, this option is a blind option in the
kernel, so enabling it in linux.mk has no effect: we need to enable a
non-blind option that selects CONFIG_EVENT_TRACING. We've chosen to
select CONFIG_ENABLE_DEFAULT_TRACERS.
This fixes the build of ktap.

This commit removes BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH because this
option never worked. It was added in commit
8797a9cd1f, which added package/rtai/
and RTAI as a Linux extension.
The option prompt says "Path for RTAI patch file", so let's say you
specify /home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch as the value for
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH.
Then the code does:
RTAI_PATCH = $(call qstrip,$(BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH))
and we have a package called 'rtai', so the normal logic of
<pkg>_PATCH applies. Since the <pkg>_PATCH value does not contain
ftp://, http:// or https://, the package infrastructure will try to
download $(RTAI_SITE)/$(RTAI_PATCH), i.e:
https://www.rtai.org/userfiles/downloads/RTAI/home/foo/bar/myrtai.patch
Pretty clear that it has no chance of working.
Now, let's assume an URL is used as the value of
BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_EXT_RTAI_PATCH, such as
http://foo.com/bar/myrtai.patch. In this case, it will be properly
downloaded by the package infrastructure. But then, the following code
kicks in:
define RTAI_PREPARE_KERNEL
$(APPLY_PATCHES) \
$(LINUX_DIR) \
$(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) \
$(notdir $(RTAI_PATCH))
endef
The value of $(dir $(RTAI_PATCH)) will be http://foo.com/bar/. How
can $(APPLY_PATCHES) make use of such a stupid patch location?
[Thomas: add Config.in.legacy handling, as suggested by Arnout, even
if we believe that no-one could have ever used this option.]

Curently, all three linux extensions follow the same layout:
- test if the extension is enabled
- add itself to linux' patch-dependencies
- declare a macro, added as the pre-patch hook
Except for the macro, all can be commonalised.
Add a simple infrastructure for that:
- extensions declare themselves in the list of extensions
- extensions define their macro
- the infra adds them to the patch-dependencies and pre-patch
hooks as appropriate

Since the move to the kconfig-package infra, linux extensions are
broken.
In our linux package, extensions are applied as pre-patch hooks.
Before the kconfig-package infra, we had custom rules for the
linux-*config targets, which were of the form:
linux-menuconfig: linux-configure
$(MAKE) -C $(LINUX_DIR) menuconfig
This caused the linux tree to be fully configured before running the
configurators, and thus linux dependencies were entirely fullfilled, and
extensions were properly applied.
Since we migrated (in dff25ea), the kconfig-package infra introduces a
(hidden, internal) intermediate step 'kconfig-fixup' and decorelates the
kconfig-part of the configuration from the actual package-part of the
configuration:
linux-configure -------> kconfig-fixup --> .config --> $(LINUX_CONFIG_FILE)
/
linux-menuconfig --'
As thus, this (very useful!) use-case breaks (starting from a clean
Buildroot tree):
make menuconfig
-> enable a kernel and at least one extension
-> save and exit
make linux-menuconfig
-> extensions are not available
Fix that by using the newly-introduced patch-dependencies, so that
extensions are available before we try to patch the linux kernel.

Several packages have some logic to apply custom patches that existed
before the BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR mechanism: at91bootstrap,
at91bootstrap3, barebox, uboot and linux. Currently, the logic of
those packages to apply custom patches is to match
<package-name>-*.patch, which is not consistent with what we've done
for patches stored in the package directory, and for patches stored in
BR2_GLOBAL_PATCH_DIR: in such cases, we simply apply *.patch.
Therefore, for consistency reasons, this commit changes these packages
to also apply *.patch.

The linux package has a special handling of patches, with quite a bit
of legacy in it. A problem caused by this special handling is that the
linux package calls directly the DOWNLOAD_WGET macro, which means that
the package infrastructure isn't aware of which patches get
downloaded, and it prevents doing changes inside the package download
infrastructure.
This commit changes the handling of patches in the linux package in
the following way:
* The LINUX_PATCHES variable is kept as is: it lists all the patches
mentioned in the Config.in option BR2_LINUX_KERNEL_PATCH. This
option can contain http://, ftp://, https:// URLs, path to local
files or local directories.
This variable is *not* used by the generic package infrastructure,
so it is purely internal to the Linux package.
* The LINUX_PATCH variable is now filled in with the list of patches
that should be downloaded. It is derived from LINUX_PATCHES by
filtering the patches that have http://, ftp:// or https:// in
their path. Since <pkg>_PATCH is handled by the package
infrastructure, it means that those patches are now automatically
downloaded and applied by the package infrastructure.
* The LINUX_APPLY_PATCHES hook is renamed to
LINUX_APPLY_LOCAL_PATCHES, because it is now only responsible of
applying local patches: remote patches are handled by
LINUX_PATCH. The implementation of the hook is changed to filter
out the patches that have already taken care of by LINUX_PATCH, so
that we only iterate through the list of local patches or local
patch directories.

When building device tree blobs from custom *.dts files, buildroot

This causes that user can't provide one *.dts file and some other

variable with *.dts files only. All user provided files are copied
into kernel source tree, but only file names suffixed with *.dts
are used for building appropriate *.dtb files.

When Buildroot is configured to append the root filesystem to the Linux
kernel as initramfs, Buildroot sets the path to the initramfs source
dynamically in the Linux configuration file.
As this path is specified as an absolute path, typically being different
for different users of the same project (e.g. containing a username),
saving the configuration to a version control system (for example using
'make linux-update-defconfig') would result in a difference for this
path at every invocation by a different user.
Although this is technically not an issue, it is confusing that this
generates a difference.
Address this issue by using a not-yet-expanded make variable to specify
the path to the initramfs source. That variable will be expanded by the
Linux build system, which uses it both as a Makefile variable and a
shell variable; thus, it needs to be specified in LINUX_MAKE_ENV (so
it is exported and available in sub-processes of make). Any saved
configuration file would simply contain the reference to the
not-yet-expanded variable.
As in the Linux build system, the config variables are both read from
make as from a shell script, we cannot use $() syntax as this would be
interpreted as a command invocation by the shell. Instead, use ${}
syntax which is interpreted as variable reference both by the shell as
by make.
[Thomas:
- Really make the patch work by using $(LINUX_MAKE_ENV) instead of
$(TARGET_MAKE_ENV). Otherwise, the new BR2_BINARIES_DIR variable is
not passed at all stages of the build process, which makes the
build fail when an initramfs is used.]
