[Buildroot] elfutils successfully compiled with buildroot 2012.05

[Stefan Fröberg]

Hello to all

I just want to tell that I have now managed to complete building
elfutils version 0.155
successfully with Buildroot version 2012.05.

After some sleep (and patch cleanup) I will send it here for initial review.
Not all of it went smoothly but I will explain it in more detail in the
patches.

There are few screenshots of my uClibc environment under VirtualBox
with working readelf from elfutils package.

Regards
Stefan

P.S.:  AFAIK, Glib from version 2.32 and up needs elfutils (or at least
it's libelf component)
as hard dependency ????

No, it's a soft dependency. glib 2.32 will build without libelf. In a
build without libelf you won't be able to use the GResource
functionality though, see
http://developer.gnome.org/gio/2.32/gio-GResource.html

Ah, I see.

I assumed it to be hard dependency because in my Gentoo linux installation
they list it as so.
But this is good to know.

Thanks!
