Yann E. MORIN c69b14fe2f core/pkg-cmake: provide our own platform description
The handling of RPATH in cmake-3.7 has changed drastically, causing a
slew of build failures dues to libraries from the host being pulled in:

  - domoticz : http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/fd0/fd0ba54c7abf973691b39a0ca1bb4e07d749593a/
  - freerdp  : http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/5d4/5d429d0e288754a541ee5d8be515454c5fccd28b/
  - libcec   : http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/3f3/3f3593bab7734dd274faf5b5690895e9424cbb89/
  - and so on...

The bug was reported upstream [0], which dismissed it altogether [1] as
being expected behaviour, quoting:

    I don't think there is anything wrong with that change on its own.
    It merely exposed some existing behavior in a new case.

Instead, upstream suggested in that same message that a platform
definition be used instead, quoting:

    If a toolchain file specifies CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME such that a custom
    `Platform/MySystem.cmake` file is loaded then the latter can set
    them as needed for the target platform.

So here we are doing so:

  - we add a new platfom definitions that inherits from the Linux one,
    then overrides the problematic settings;

  - we change our toolchain file to use that platform instead;

  - we tell cmake where to find additional modules, so that it can find
    our custom platform file.

This has been tested to work in the following conditions:

 - pre-installed host cmake, versions 3.5.1 (Ubuntu 16.04) and 3.7.2
   (manually built)

  - internal cmake, versions 3.6.3 (the current version as of this
    patch) and 3.7.2 (with the followup patches).

Thanks to Jörg, Ben and Baruch for the help investigating the issue.
Special thanks to Jörg for handling the discussion with upstream and
pointing to the relevant messages! :-)

To be noted: Thomas suggested we set these directly in the toolchain
file. Unfortunately, wherever we put those settings in the toolchain
file, this does not work.

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.
