tools/elfutils: enable parallel building

2025-07-26T12:38:09Z

There are multiple subdirectories for elfutils and more than one is not dependent on another, so enabling parallel building can save time if multiple cores are available. The change in build time for the package is as much as 20% when cores are not in use by other jobs.

tools/elfutils: update MIPS support patches

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

The original patch series partially added by commit f97da2c61 ("tools/elfutils: add missing MIPS reloc support") now has a v3 which has half of it's commits accepted. To prepare for updating to the new release, use the new series that includes backports. Manually adjusted patch: - 010-backport-mips-support-reloc.patch Add patch: - 011-backport-mips-support-strip.patch - 012-backport-mips-support-readelf.patch - 013-backport-mips-support-elflint.patch - 014-backport-mips-support-stack.patch - 015-backport-mips-support-regs.patch Tested-by: Tony Ambardar Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/16522 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools/elfutils: add maintainer-clean to clean target

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

Use the clean recipe during build, so that files already generated by the bootstrapping within the release are removed before the bootstrap script is run again. Automake with modified rules must be ran in order to generate a Makefile that does delete itself or libtool. In order to enable rules for building what is removed, maintainer mode is required for configuring. Building from tracked sources only with maintainer mode requires a lexical analyzer, so add dependency for bison. Override an automake variable "am__CONFIG_DISTCLEAN_FILES" in order to prevent removing config.status and other configure files so that configure stage does not need to be ran twice. The function obstack_printf() is not present on macOS, so use the available gnulib module and their dependencies. Many more modules from gnulib are now needed, and some replacements of some functions must be skipped to prevent build errors at link time.

tools/elfutils: backport version 0.192 portability patches

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

These patches will be present in version 0.192 release. Include them before the update to support changes before updating and in order to have a more organized git history. Manually refreshed patch: - 110-objects-manifest.patch Add patch: - 095-src-unused-variable.patch - 096-lib-config_h.patch - 097-libcpu-config_h.patch - 098-libdw-maintainer-clean.patch - 099-remove-unlocked-stdio.patch Tested-by: Georgi Valkov # macOS Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/16522 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools/elfutils: replace dependency hack with upstream include path fix

2025-07-26T12:38:08Z

In order to solve the problem of the possibility that the "stack" binary is incorrectly included as a header while the compiler looks for the standard C++ header "stack", a workaround forcing a dependency between building "stack" and the C++ program was introduced. This upstream fix uses the compiler "-iquote" option in order to avoid looking for standard headers in the current working directory and blocks the default inclusion of "-I ." to the compiler flags. The upstream fix happens to be incomplete, so add an extra patch to fix an additional instance and then remove the workaround. Also, adjust the way DEFAULT_INCLUDES is overridden in the build Makefile by using the "-iquote" option in the same manner in order to remove all instances of the default inclusion for the current directory.

tools: elfutils: set -std=gnu17

2025-04-17T14:29:18Z

Fedora 42 updated to GCC15 which now defaults to GNU23 as the default instead of GNU17[1], and this breaks m4 compilation. This looks like a gnulib issue, so until that is updated/fixed lets simply set C language version back to GNU17.

tools/elfutils: prevent invalid include of stack binary

2024-09-30T09:07:04Z

In some versions of Xcode, some C++ header has an include of the standard C++ header "stack" while "." is in the include paths which can conflict with the binary "stack" built by elfutils. This leads to a decode error as the binary is interpreted as text. Add an arbitrary dependency between stack and the C++ program. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt

tools/elfutils: simplify and cleanup Makefile

2024-07-08T06:49:43Z

After changes to default host build recipes and default variable definitions, several custom definitions can be removed, and the gnulib recipes replaced with hooks to common recipes. Also remove leftover PKG_INSTALL which has no effect for host builds. Signed-off-by: Michael Pratt Link: https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/15853 Signed-off-by: Robert Marko

tools/elfutils: remove header symlink between subdirectories

2024-07-08T06:49:42Z

Replace the symlink in the build recipe for gnulib with an extra include path flag in CPPFLAGS to the lib subdirectory so that it is the last in the order of include paths, and use a quote escape to make the flag a literal string in order to use Make variables within it. The original reason this is necessary is because the config.h header provided by the project at the top-level build directory calls another header eu-config.h which is stored in the lib subdirectory instead of the top-level, and building the gnulib library requires the config.h header.
