Currently, the build of systemd is broken with the internal toolchain
backend, because we have uClibc patches that add support for
execvpe(), but we also have a patch for systemd that adds execvpe(),
which was added when the internal uClibc didn't support execvpe().
However, simply dropping the patch is not a solution, as it would
break the build of systemd with any other uClibc than the ones built
with Buildroot. For example, a Crosstool-NG uClibc toolchain would
fail.
Beyond this execvpe() problem, there are also other problems that
prevented systemd from being built with unpatched uClibc.
This patch does the following:
* Add sequence numbers of systemd patches.
* Regenerate them to avoid fuzz.
* Improve the uClibc compatibility patch so that it:
- Detects whether execvpe() is available or not, and if not
available provide an implementation.
- Detects if dup3() is available or not, and if not available
provide an implementation.
- Detects if MSG_CMSG_CLOEXEC is defined or not, and if not, define
it to the appropriate value.
This has been tested with uClibc internal toolchain, uClibc external
toolchain built with Buildroot, uClibc external toolchain built with
Crosstool-NG, and glibc external toolchain.
Fixes bug #6776.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of
root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.
You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
Offline build:
==============
In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source
before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.
Building out-of-tree:
=====================
Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:
$ make O=/tmp/build
And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build.
More finegrained configuration:
===============================
You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config
And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config
To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine
Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig
