Thomas Petazzoni e318e5c54b package/uclibc: add patch to fix reallocarray() definition
uClibc-ng unconditionally exposes a reallocarray() prototype, but only
provides the implementation when the malloc-standard implementation is
selected in the configuration.

As noMMU configurations can't use malloc-standard, they use malloc or
malloc-simple that don't provide reallocarray().

As a result of reallocarray() being missing, some packages such as
util-linux provide their own replacement implementation... but its
prototype clashes with the one provided by uClibc, causing build
failures such as:

In file included from lib/color-names.c:7:
./include/c.h:586:21: error: static declaration of ‘reallocarray’ follows non-static declaration
  586 | static inline void *reallocarray(void *ptr, size_t nmemb, size_t size)
      |                     ^~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from ./include/c.h:16:
/home/thomas/projets/buildroot/output/host/arm-buildroot-uclinux-uclibcgnueabi/sysroot/usr/include/stdlib.h:898:14: note: previous declaration of ‘reallocarray’ with type ‘void *(void *, size_t,  size_t)’ {aka ‘void *(void *, unsigned int,  unsigned int)’}

      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~
make[3]: *** [Makefile:12354: lib/libtcolors_la-color-names.lo] Error 1

This is addressed by a patch on uClibc, submitted upstream, which
makes sure the prototype is only exposed when the implementation is
provided.

The issue can be reproduced with commands:

    cat <<EOF >.config
    BR2_arm=y
    BR2_cortex_m4=y
    BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT_UCLIBC=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX=y
    BR2_PACKAGE_UTIL_LINUX_KILL=y
    EOF
    make olddefconfig
    make util-linux

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.
