tools: cache the configure results of eleven more autotools tools

2026-09-22T18:29:59Z

Configure stage without a cache against a warm cache: mtools 3.34 s -> 0.28 s gengetopt 4.39 s -> 2.13 s fakeroot 10.97 s -> 8.73 s xz 4.32 s -> 2.17 s libressl 3.07 s -> 1.46 s flex 12.32 s -> 10.98 s expat 2.74 s -> 1.52 s bc 1.34 s -> 0.38 s dosfstools 3.13 s -> 2.54 s libtool 2.86 s -> 2.29 s mtd-utils 4.06 s -> 3.56 s flex, fakeroot, dosfstools and mtd-utils run autoreconf in the same stage, and the cache does not reach that part. Each of the eleven configures the same way with a warm cache as it does without one: the check configures three times, without a cache, with a cold cache and with a warm cache, and every generated file of the first and the last run is identical. A static scan of each configure script found no cache check that changes CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS or LIBS without restoring it. patchelf, mklibs and automake pass the same check but gain less than half a second, so they stay out. make world after make tools/clean now takes 121 s against 177 s with cold caches.

tools: build autoconf, automake, libtool, dosfstools and make-ext4fs in parallel

2026-09-22T18:29:59Z

libtool 22.5 s -> 20.0 s dosfstools 6.0 s -> 4.8 s make-ext4fs 2.1 s -> 1.2 s automake 3.9 s -> 3.4 s autoconf 3.1 s -> 2.6 s Each one builds five times out of five with the job server, and each build installs files that are identical to those of a serial build. Signed-off-by: John Crispin

treewide: use HTTPS for PKG_SOURCE_URL where possible

2026-04-20T03:58:37Z

Switch http:// (and redundant ftp://) PKG_SOURCE_URL entries to https:// across tools/ and package/. PKG_HASH alone does not protect against an attacker tampering with insecure downloads when a maintainer regenerates the hash via `make ... FIXUP=1`: HTTPS authenticates the upstream so the captured hash reflects real upstream content. In-place http -> https (HTTPS reachability verified per host): - tools/elftosb, tools/lzop, tools/liblzo, tools/mpfr, tools/dosfstools, tools/libressl, tools/xz - package/libs/mpfr, package/libs/libmnl, package/libs/libnfnetlink Replaced with @OPENWRT (HTTPS-only mirror) where the upstream HTTPS host is dead or has a broken certificate: - package/libs/popt (ftp.rpm.org cert mismatch) - package/firmware/ixp4xx-microcode (was http://downloads.openwrt.org) - package/boot/imx-bootlets (trabant.uid0.hu cert mismatch) - package/boot/kobs-ng (freescale.com URL is dead, redirects to nxp.com root) Dropped redundant ftp://ftp.denx.de fallback (https://ftp.denx.de is already listed): - package/boot/uboot-tools, tools/mkimage Signed-off-by: Paul Spooren

dosfstools: switch to AC_CHECK_LIB

2023-01-16T17:29:04Z

This fixes spurious build-errors on OpenWrt, where the AM_ICONV macro is undefined while invoking autoconfig. Later in the build, the ICONV LDOPTIONS are set to @LIBICONV@, failing the build. Signed-off-by: David Bauer
