[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] package/libopenssl: move target arch selection to Config.in

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Thomas, All,

On 2019-10-27 11:24 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> The logic to select the proper OpenSSL target arch in libopenssl.mk is
> not easy to read, so let's move it to Config.in where we have some
> nice constructs for that kind of value selection.

Why 'LINUX' in the option name?

So I know you just transposed the existing logic from Makefile to
Kconfig. Yet, I'd like to point at how fragile this ordering is.

The arm vs. aarch64 situation works because BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARM is never
selected by an armv8 CPU when it works in 64bit mode.

I think a more reliable way would have been something like:

    config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBOPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH_ARM
        bool
        default y if BR2_arm || BR2_armeb
        depends on BR2_ARM_CPU_HAS_ARM

and then:

    default "linux-armv4"  if BR2_PACKAGE_LIBOPENSSL_TARGET_ARCH_ARM

But since that patch was just a transposition from Makefiel to Kconfig,
I've left it as-is and applied to master.

Amybe it makes sense to move BR2_PACKAGE_LIBOPENSSL_BIN there too?
