Functionnaly identical patch, slightly simpler.

Two remarks:
- please push this upstream, too
- please add a patch that does this autoreconf. We should not rely on
  the build-host to have autoconf nor automake installed, i think.

Thanks alot for looking into this!

Note that quite a few Buildroot packages require autoconf to be
installed on the host (openssh, dropbear, avahi, gawk, dbug, glib)...
they'll need to be changed, too.

Attached are patches for
* autoconf-host, automake-host, libtool-host
  and an $(AUTORECONF) variable that runs autoreconf with the
appropriate arguments
* the fontconfig package using custom-built autoreconf (replaces previous patch)

This still requires perl on the build host, but I assume that's reasonable :)

Tell me how this works for you.

no :)

In order to avoid to have the sources unpacked in two locations, we
usually unpack them into $(TOOL_BUILD_DIR), i.e.:
AUTOMAKE_SRC_DIR:=$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)
AUTOMAKE_DIR:=$(BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)
AUTOMAKE_HOST_DIR:=$(TOOL_BUILD_DIR)/automake-$(AUTOMAKE_VER)-host

Can you please adjust accordingly?

Thanks for the nice patch!

Done.
I took the liberty to add a few 'touch -c $@' where relevant.
I also changed the targets from foo-host to host-foo, as seems to be the
policy elswhere in buildroot.

Cheers,
