debug/ltrace: Add support for ltrace-0.5.3

From this version of ltrace the maintainer has removed support for
GNU Autotools, so the patch sets needed to be reworked.

Included is the latest Debian patch, by the Debian ltrace maintainer
Juan Cespedes <cespedes@debian.org>, the OpenEmbedded patches for cross
compiling, by Khem Raj <raj.khem@gmail.com> and a further set of patches
by Joachim Nilsson <jocke@vmlinux.org> for crosstool-NG.

I was able to successfully build and run v2.6.27-davinci1 kernel
(Kevin Hilman's branch) with busybox based initramfs on it. I don't
believe that any later kernel would represent any challenge (it just
happens that I'm currently working with this version). What a thrill
:).

crosstool-NG/toolchain config is attached. It may be useful to someone

As reported by Joachim Nilsson <jocke@vmlinux.org>
in: http://sourceware.org/ml/crossgcc/2010-01/msg00005.html

It seems I need to add the 4.3.4/290-index_macro.patch to the GCC 4.4.x
series as well. I immediately trigger the following libstdc++ bug for
4.4.2 with a uClibc .config which has UCLIBC_SUSV3_LEGACY_MACROS set[1].

In case the remote file does not exist (and probably for some

The solution is to delete the file whenever aria2 fails.

2010-01-01debug/strace: fix strace 4.5.19 to properly build with latest Linux kernels

debug/strace: fix strace 4.5.19 to properly build with latest Linux kernels

Here's a couple of patches to get strace 4.5.19 to configure and build
properly with the latest kernel headers. Not pretty, but hopefully
enough while we wait for 4.5.20 to be released.

With the current strace-4.5.19 patches I failed to get the configure
script running even on my host environment. Also, when cross building
the configure script needs to look for the proper system headers to be
able to properly set HAVE_LINUX_NETLINK_H. Otherwise you get:

[EXTRA] Building strace
[ERROR] /home/jocke/x-tools/targets/src/strace-4.5.19/net.c:976:
error: field 'nl' has incomplete type
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [net.o] Error 1
[ERROR] make[1]: *** [all] Error 2

The fix was simple, backport a change set from the git[1] tree and run
autoreconf to update the configure script.

scripts/functions: add aria2, a powerfull downloader

aria2 is a powerfull downloader that is capable of chunking and
parallel retrieval.

Due to li;itations in crosstool-NG retrieval facilities, it's not possible
to take fully advantage of aria2. It might happen that, in the future,
those limitations get lifted away, so we can take use features such as
parallel downloading from more than one server at the same time. For now,
it should still speed up downloads thanks to parallel downloading of chunks.

config: fix generated config files when GREP_OPTIONS set --color=always

grep is used when generating some .in files (in config.gen). If GREP_OPTIONS
contains --color=always, then the generated files will contains some escape
sequences setting the color, and mconf would choke on those escape sequences.

Always set and export an empty GREP_OPTIONS to avoid that.
