2014-12-21	support/libtool: add patch for newer versions	Gustavo Zacarias
	Add patch to support newer (>2.4.2) versions. Adjust patch logic to check for patchlevel greater than 2 (apply new patch) or not (apply current patch). Some people/distributions used unreleased versions, with the string being 2.4.2.x, this packages are AUTORECONFed and have to be kept like this since the up-to-2.4.2 patch doesn't work, neither does the from-2.4.3 version patch.

2014-07-31	support/libtool: improve version 1.5 static patching	Gustavo Zacarias
	Alter the libtool 1.5.x support patch to accomodate for wildly different versions of ltmain.sh Just make it alter incoming args from -static to -all-static which seems to apply to all the different variants out there since argument parsing is unlikely to change much.

2014-07-30	support/libtool: make -static behave like -all-static	Thomas Petazzoni
	After switching TARGET_LDFLAGS from --static to -static, one issue appears: from the point of view of libtool, -static only means to link statically against the 'uninstalled libtool libraries' (i.e the libraries that libtool has built in the current package), but otherwise links dynamically with the other libraries. To really get a completely static build, you need to pass -all-static to libtool. Unfortunately, -all-static is only a valid option for libtool, not as a general LDFLAGS, so we cannot to TARGET_LDFLAGS = -all-static without breaking virtually all packages. As pointed out 10 years ago on the libtool mailing list, the current naming of the options is very confusing and the source of issues, and there was a proposal to change -static to have the behavior of -all-static, and instead introduce a separate -lt-static to have the current behavior of -static. But that never got merged, because it was breaking the current behavior. See: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool/2004-11/msg00017.html However, in Buildroot, when we pass -static, we really mean it, and we want a completely static build. Therefore, this patch adapts our ltmain.sh patches so that they alter the behavior of -static to make it work like -all-static. The changes are small and quite easy to understand, and have been tested to work fine with a small selection of packages. Signed-off-by: Thomas Petazzoni <thomas.petazzoni@free-electrons.com>
