systemd is increasingly expecting things to live in /usr/bin, /usr/sbin
or /usr/lib nad not in /bin, /sbin or /lib. It has inherited those
expectations from a Fedora change:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UsrMove
Note however, that systemd does support /usr being on a separate
filesystem; it just expects an initramfs to mount it before the final
switchroot over to the actual rootfs.
But the traditional use-case for Buildroot is not to boot with an
initramfs; although that is totally feasible, that's probably not what
is commonly done in the vast majority of cases.
However, a lot of packages still install stuff directly into /bin,
/sbin or /lib, which systemd may need early-on in the boot process,
even before it may have a chance to mount /usr. Even though we can
tell systemd, at configure-time, where it should expect programs to
be at runtime, it does not make sense to go head-first against an
upstream wa^Hill.
Add an option so that /bin, /sbin and /lib be symlinks to /usr/bin
and /usr/sbin. That option is forcibly enabled when the init system
is systemd.
Note: we need not handle /lib32 or /lib64, as they already are symlinks
to /lib, which means they will automatically be redirected to /usr/lib,
as /usr/lib32 and /usr/lib64 already are.
Furthermore, this means we're no longer supporting a split-usr setup, so
the corresponding configure options have been removed as well for
systemd and, when using a merged /usr, for eudev as well.
In Buildroot, we decided (with this patch) not to support a split-usr
when systemd is used as an init system. This is a design decision, not
a systemd issue. Thus the select is with BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD rather than
with BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD.
