[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/5] Fix libnl static linking

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Hello,

This set of patches was triggered by the batctl static linking patch
sent by Jens Zettelmeyer.

It turns out that batctl properly uses pkg-config to know how to link
with libnl, so it's ctually libnl pkg-config that aren't correct. This
is what the first two patches are fixing. This fixes batctl static
linking.

As a follow-up, I reviewed some of the packages that link against
libnl and have special handling for static linking, and did some
related cleanups.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/5] libnl: use the backported patch for poll.h issue

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Now that J?rg's patch has been merged upstream, let's use the
backported version, in a git format.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 2/5] libnl: add patch to add Libs.private in libnl-3.0.pc

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Having a properly defined Libs.private field allows to make sure
static linking against libnl-3.0 works fine, at least as long as
pkg-config is used.

+
+In order to support static linking, the libnl pkg-config file should
+indicate in its Libs.private field the libraries that libnl-3.0.a
+requires. The LIBS variable contains the appropriate list of
+libraries: -lm in all cases, and -lpthread when pthread support is
+enabled. This allows to statically link applications against libnl
+properly.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 3/5] crda: remove static library handling

[Thomas Petazzoni]

In commit d54418f2bcd9267fd049511d6236fb91c83b94ea ("crda: fix static
build failure"), some static linking handling was added in crda. But
in a later commit, 7c08fa935f55d108e20834e6b4bba664e1d2d408 ("crda:
needs dynamic library support"), crda was marked as not available for
static only builds.

This means that the static linking logic in crda.mk is now just dead
code, so this commit gets rid of it.

[Buildroot] [PATCH 4/5] ti-utils: simplify static linking case by using pkg-config

Instead of hardcoding the dependencies of libnl, use pkg-config to

[Thomas Petazzoni]

Now that libnl pkg-config file is correct, there is no need to have
special handling for static linking in the iw package: it already uses
pkg-config to get the necessary flags to link with libnl.
