Fabrice Fontaine a3c1ba68f4 package/binutils: zlib is mandatory
As found out by Yann [1], binutils will use its bundled copy of zlib,
whether it is already provided by the system or not, and unless
explicitly told to use the system zlib with --with-system-zlib, which
is available since version 2.21 and
700d40ca16

This will fix the following build failure with oprofile when compiling
in a static configuration where zlib is not enabled:

    checking for bfd_openr in -lbfd... no
    checking for compress in -lz... no
    configure: error: libz library not found; required by libbfd

As found out by Arnout [1], this fails infrequently because static is
already pretty rare, but in addition zlib is almost always selected by
some other package.

Fixes:

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
