[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/3] package/gnupg2: configure script looks at the wrong stdint.h

This is a weird bug...

The problem is in the configure script at line 14668:

      gl_cv_absolute_stdint_h=`(eval "$ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext") 2>&5 |
sed -n '\#/stdint.h#{s#.*"\(.*/stdint.h\)".*#\1#;s#^/[^/]#//&#;p;q;}'`

Let's try to analyze the problem:

Here is the content of conftest.c:
cat conftest.c
#include <stdint.h>

The first part "$(eval $ac_cpp conftest.$ac_ext)" is the same as arm-linux-cpp conftest.c

Here is the stdout:
# 1 "conftest.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "conftest.c"
# 150 "conftest.c"
# 1 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/opt/ext-toolchain/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/4.8.3/include/stdint.h" 1 3 4
# 9 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/opt/ext-toolchain/lib/gcc/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/4.8.3/include/stdint.h" 3 4
# 1 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/stdint.h" 1 3 4
# 26 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/stdint.h" 3 4
# 1 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/features.h" 1 3 4
# 187 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/features.h" 3 4
# 1 "/home/naourr/git/buildroot/test/gnupg/host/usr/arm-buildroot-linux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/bits/uClibc_config.h" 1 3 4
[...]

Then, the output of arm-linux-cpp is filtered out with the sed command in order to keep the first line containing "stdint.h"

For now, I don't know why 4.8.3/include/stdint.h is listed by arm-linux-cpp and I don't understand entirely the sed command.

I tried to autoreconf the package to rebuild the configure script but without success.

After my investigation on this problem, I found these links:

To be continued...
