Thomas Petazzoni 9c13e02c35 package/libcap: fix static linking issues
Since the bump of libcap to 2.42, host-libcap unconditionally tries to
build a shared library, which fails on build machines where the static
version of the C library is not available.

This issue was reported upstream, who fixed it by two different
commits, which are backported as patches 0001 and 0002. They require
passing a DYNAMIC= value, which should be "yes" to enable dynamic
linking, or empty when not using dynamic linking.

However, other upstream changes broke our logic to support static-only
linking for the target. So we introduce a 0003 patch which extends how
the DYNAMIC flag is used to disable the build of the shared library in
the libcap/ folder. This allows to greatly simplify libcap.mk.

Note that the refactoring is mixed with the fix: the two are hardly
splitable. We need to be able to pass the same options at all steps, and
especially the staging step, otherwise some code gets compiled with the
host compiler, installed in staging, and thus fails the architecture
check later on.

Fixes:

  host-libcap build failure on system without a static libc

  libcap build failure on static only systems

  - also pass DYNAMIC=yes at host-install step
  - extend commit log to explain why we refactor and fix together

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.
