[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/4] libglib: fix build with NLS or in Thumb mode (branch yem/meson-per-pkg-flags)

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Hello All!

With meson, it is impossible to pass extra CFLAGS or override them
entirely from the command line (i.e. neither in the environment nor as
command line arguments). Worse, if we were to do so, they would be
passed to the host compiler, not the target compiler.

This series adds two changes to the meson infrastructure:
  - a fix for when the *FLAGS variables are empty ut with spaces,
  - the ability for packages to pass their own *FLAGS if they need to.

Finally, two changes are done in libglib2, that take advantage of this
new feature:
  - fix the build when the external gettext provides the i18n functions,
  - fix the build on ARM in Thumb mode.

Thanks to Peter S. for the initial infra patch, thanks to Thomas for a
previous review, and thanks to Adam for investigting a bug that led to
the first patch and parts of the second patch, as well as proof-reading
my crappy commit logs; any leftover typo is entirely his fault, now!
Muahaha! ;-]


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
