package/swupdate: add patch to fix build issue with some toolchains
Some toolchains used in Buildroot (x86-64 and mips64) have a problem to compile
a set of object files into one object file as it is done for the
`builtin-target` declared in swupdate's Kbuild Makefile.build. This target
collects all object files from every subdirectory declared in `objs-dir` and
compiles them into a single object file named `build-in.o` using the linker ld.
For the addressed toolchains the default emulation of ld is not the correct one
leading to different kind of relocation errors:
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from
format elf64-x86-64 (core/swupdate.o) to format elf32-i386 (core/built-in.o)
is not supported.
or
/usr/bin/mips-linux-gnu-ld: handlers/raw_handler.o: endianness incompatible
with that of the selected emulation
or
/usr/bin/mips64el-linux-ld: core/swupdate.o: ABI is incompatible with that
of the selected
As there is no need to have single object file `built-in.o` to be compiled for
the subdirectories core and handlers we can easily allow swupdate to be built
with these toolchains by compiling the source files from core and handlers with
the `lib-target` target by assigning them to the `libs-y` variable as it is done
for all other subdirectories. The `lib-target` compiles a set of object files
into one archive file. With this target we avoid using the ld linker and use the
ar archiver instead.
Add a patch from upstream to fix a whole bunch of autobuild errors.
