[PATCH 0/2] meta-darwin on dylan branch

[Woodyatt, James]

Everyone—

I’ve discovered some errors in the meta-darwin layer on the dylan branch that currently prevent the meta-toolchain target from building the components included in the OS X variant of the Arduino for Intel Galileo IDE.  Follow-ups to comprise the two patches that solve the problem.  These changes may need to be merged upstream, but I haven’t looked.

Here are summary descriptions of the patches:

1. Properly configure util-linux when ncurses is configured —with-libterm=tinfo.
2. Remove usage of ‘new typename’ constructors in ld64 part of odcctools2 package.

The big piece I'm missing here is an understand of which circumstances
these failures occur under?

These things build ok for me so what would I need to change on my system
to reproduce these?

The reason I ask is that it helps to understand the cases we're not
catching and documenting the problems in the commit message can be
extremely useful when looking back at why code exists later.

Cheers,

Richard
