When $(CURDIR) and/or $(O) contain symlinks in their paths, they can be
resolved differently, depending on each package build-system (whether it
uses the given paths or get the absolute canonical ones).
Using absolute canonical paths will help achieving reproducible builds and
will make easier tracking down host machine paths leaking into the host,
target or staging trees.
So, this change ensures the build takes place with the CURDIR and O
variables are set to their absolute canonical paths.
In order to recall the toplevel makefile with absolute canonical paths
for $(CURDIR) and $(O), we need to:
1- Compute the absolute canonical paths for $(CURDIR) and $(O) that will
be passed to the sub-make. This is achieved using the 'realpath' make
primitive. However, some care must be taken when manipulating O:
- the out-of-tree makefile wrapper happens a trailing "/.", we need
to strip this part away to not break the comparison driving the
sub-make call;
- the user can leave a trailing '/' to $(O);
- according to [1,2], realpath returns an empty string in case of
non-existing entry. So, to avoid passing an empty O= variable to
sub-make, it is necessary to define the output directory and create
it prior to call realpath on it (because on the first invocation,
$(O) usually does not yet exists), hence the trick doing the mkdir
right before calling realpath.
2- Update EXTRAMAKEARGS with the absolute canonical $(O) and use it
when call recalling the top-level makefile with umask and paths
correctly set.
3- Lastly, update the condition for setting the CONFIG_DIR and
NEED_WRAPPER variables.
Note:
* This change takes care of the makefile wrapper installed in $(O) to
avoid unneeded make recursion.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
