[Buildroot] mysql server and stack direction

[Heiko Zuerker]

Hi,

I'm working on the MySQL server package (v5.1 done, v5.5 will be  
next), but one of the issues is that it needs the "stack direction"  
set before the compile.

Does anybody have an idea how this can be configured dynamically? I'd  
really hate to have to make this a config option.

hardcode it to down.
or
if hp-parisc then up.
But B.R. doesn't do hp-parisc, so just hardcoding it should do the job.

Note:
There might be other machines that have a stack direction of up,
but I can't think of what they might be.

Out of interest, why two versions?

Almost everything (perhaps all archs supported by BR?) have stacks
growing down, so I think hardcoding it in the .mk seems the
easiest/best.

Mostly because of worries on how well the new version is supported by  
other apps. By adding 5.5 as optional, we could get the kinks out first.
If you don't like that idea, we can simply stick with 5.1 for now and  
I'll submit the patches.

I like easy.

I submitted the current version of the patch, since I'm not sure when  
I'll be able to continue the work.
MySQL 5.1.x works fine for me (client + server), but 5.5 probably  
needs some more experienced folks in the area of cross-compiling.
