[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Fix for GIT cross-compilation.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] Fix for GIT cross-compilation.

[Mauro Condarelli]

GIT configuration partially relies on system parameters retrieved
using 'uname -?' directlly at make time.
This does not mix well with cross compilation.
This patch allows to feed canned uname results directly from git.mk.

As discussed on IRC, the simplest solution which could be acceptable
upstream would be:

    -uname_S := $(shell sh -c 'uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo not')
    +uname_S ?= $(shell sh -c 'uname -s 2>/dev/null || echo not')

(and so on for the others, of course.)

I'll mark this patch as "changes requested" in patchwork while waiting
for your next version.

Thanks! :-)

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
