Yann E. MORIN f48c08f0f5 support/graph-depends: detect circular dependencies
Currently, if there is a circular dependency in the packages, the
graph-depends script just errors out with a Python RuntimeError which is
not caught, resulting in a very-long backtrace which does not provide
any hint as what the real issue is (even if "RuntimeError: maximum
recursion depth exceeded" is a pretty good hint at it).

We fix that by recursing the dependency chain of each package, until we
either end up with a package with no dependency, or with a package
already seen along the current dependency chain.

We need to introduce a new function, check_circular_deps(), because we
can't re-use the existing ones:

  - remove_mandatory_deps() does not iterate,

  - remove_transitive_deps() does iterate, but we do not call it for the
    top-level package if it is not 'all'

  - it does not make sense to use those functions anyway, as they were
    not designed to _check_ but to _act_ on the dependency chain.

Since we've had time-related issues in the past, we do not want to
introduce yet another time-hog, so here are timings with the circular
dependency check:

    $ time python -m cProfile -s cumtime support/scripts/graph-depends

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.
