Currently, we only support two levels of stach-smashing protection:
- entirely disabled,
- protect _all_ functions with -fstack-protector-all.
-fstack-protector-all tends to be far too aggressive and impacts
performance too much to be worth on a real product.
Add a choice that allows us to select between different levels of
stack-smashing protection:
- none
- basic (NEW)
- strong (NEW)
- all

When building in a different output directory than the original build,
there will currently be a lot of ccache misses because in many cases
there is some -I/... absolute path in the compilation. Ccache has an
option CCACHE_BASEDIR to substitute absolute paths with relative paths,
so they wil be the same in the hash (and in the output).
Since there are some disadvantages to this path rewriting, it is made
optional as BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR. It defaults to y because the
usefulness of ccache is severely reduced without this option.
In addition to CCACHE_BASEDIR, we also substitute away the occurences
of $(HOST_DIR) in the calculation of the compiler hash. This is done
regardless of the setting of BR2_CCACHE_USE_BASEDIR because it's
quite harmless.

Now that we have more options in terms of static/shared libraries,
switch from the existing default of building both shared and static
libraries to building shared libraries only (of course only on
platforms that support shared libraries).
Building both shared and static takes time (since the shared objects
must be built with -fPIC, while static objects are generally built
without, as -fPIC has some performance impact) and consumes a little
bit more disk space.
For example, a static+shared build of libglib2 takes 1 minutes and 59
seconds, with a final build directory of 96 MB. A shared-only build of
libglib2 takes only 1 minutes and 31 seconds (almost a 25% reduction
of the build time), and the final build directory weights 89 MB (a
reduction of almost 8%).
So, switching to a shared library only build brings some useful build
time and build size benefits.

This commit turns the single static option into a choice, which offers
various possibilities:
1. Build and use static libraries only;
2. Build both shared and static libraries, but use shared libraries;
3. Build and use shared libraries only.
On most platforms, (2) is currently the default, and kept as the
default in this commit. Of course, on certain platforms (Blackfin,
m68k), only option (1) will be available.
In addition to the introduction of the Config.in options, this commit
also:
* Removes the 'select BR2_STATIC_LIBS' from 'BR2_BINFMT_FLAT', since
with the use of a choice, we are guaranteed that BR2_STATIC_LIBS
will be selected when the binary format is BR2_BINFMT_FLAT, since
BR2_STATIC_LIBS will be the only possible solution in the choice.
* Changes package/Makefile.in to use the proper
--{enable,disable}-{shared,static} options for autotools packages.

Yann E. Morin.]

Since a while, the semantic of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB has been changed
from "prefer static libraries when possible" to "use only static
libraries". The former semantic didn't make much sense, since the user
had absolutely no control/idea of which package would use static
libraries, and which packages would not. Therefore, for quite some
time, we have been starting to enforce that BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB
should really build everything with static libraries.
As a consequence, this patch renames BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS, and adjust the Config.in option accordingly.
This also helps preparing the addition of other options to select
shared, shared+static or just static.
Note that we have verified that this commit can be reproduced by
simply doing a global rename of BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to
BR2_STATIC_LIBS plus adding BR2_PREFER_STATIC_LIB to Config.in.legacy.

This commit adds a Config.in option to the "Build options" submenu to
enable paranoid checking of unsafe paths. This mechanism is added as
an option so that when we'll enable it in the autobuilders, people
trying to reproduce the build failures will be able to do so by just
downloading the configuration file. If instead we were leaving this
feature as an environment variable, everyone would have to remember to
pass this environment variable to reproduce build issues. And certain
build issues triggered by paranoid unsafe patch checking may not be
visible in the build output, for example when they happen during the
execution of configure scripts.
Since this option is fairly advanced, a new submenu inside "Build
options" is created, for Advanced options.

The current default for BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE points to:
$(TOPDIR)/local.mk
This works well for in-tree builds, but is not very useful for
out-of-tree builds, when the Buildroot source tree may be shared for
different concurrent builds.
Also, it seems to be more sensible to have local.mk alognside
the .config file.
Hence, change the default for BR2_PACKAGE_OVERRIDE_FILE to point to:
$(CONFIG_DIR)/local.mk
Note that this does not change the current behaviour for in-tree
builds, since in that case $(CONFIG_DIR) == $(TOPDIR).

XBMC needs Java on the host in order to build, because it uses a
code-generator which is built in two phases: In the first phase SWIG is used
to parse C++ header files that define the API. SWIG outputs an XML file
that contains a complete description of the structure of the API. In the
second phase, the XML file is ingested by a Groovy (Java) program that then
creates C++ code that forms the bridge to the scripting language (Python).
The second phase is why we need java on the host.
You can learn more at the XBMC's wiki:

In order to keep better track of when a feature got deprecated, and hence
when it can be removed, a new set of symbols BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx is
introduced. These symbols are automatically selected when BR2_DEPRECATED is
selected, and thus are transparent to the user.
A deprecated feature will no longer depend on BR2_DEPRECATED directly, but
rather on the appropriate BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx. If that symbol does
not yet exist, it has to be created in Config.in.
When removing a deprecated feature, one should also check whether this was
the last feature using the BR2_DEPRECATED_SINCE_xxxx_xx symbol, in which
case the latter can be removed from Config.in.
A followup patch will make sure the overview is added to the list of
deprecated features in the manual, so that a buildroot core developer can
easily determine which features to remove in a given development cycle.
