[Buildroot] [RFCv2 0/1] gobject-introspection: new series

[Adam Duskett <aduskett@gmail.com>]

After a lot more pounding away at the keyboard, I am now ready to release
version 2 of the gobject-introspection series patch.

This new series has the following upgrades:
  - It now works on arm.  (More on that later)
  - Gstreamer1 can now use it.
  - General makefile cleanups.
  - New patches that make cross-compiling a bit nicer (thanks, yocto!)

To start:

I have tested this with a cortex-a9/gcc7.3 and of course glibc.
So far GStreamer can now compile, which means that everything as far
as I can tell is setup correctly to give this thing a genuine shot finally
at being put into mainline Buildroot!

What doesn't work:
For some reason, x86_64/i7 does not work. Qemu segfaults. I have a
suspicion that this is why Yocto does pre-linking, but I am not 100%
sure.

What I could use help with:

- Obviously automated testing. I had a conversation in IRC with Yann, and he
said that perhaps just merging it in now with only a small set of architectures
might be an excellent way to go. 

- Package updates: I will get around to updating python-gobject as it's needed
  for GStreamer-python (the entire reason I started this venture)

- Comments on the patches themselves would also be appreciated!.

Thanks!

Adam
