Building the po/ directory complains that the scripts in there have

Buildroot. Since we don't care that much about po files anyway, just
disable the build of this directory.

The fts_*() functions are optional in uClibc, and not compiled in our
default configuration. The best option would be to migrate this
elfutils code to the nftw family of functions, but it requires quite
some work.
So we have several options here:
*) Enable fts_*() functions in our default uClibc configuration. Not
nice since only one package needs them (the help text of uClibc
for fts_*() functions explicitly mention that they have been added
to be able to build elfutils).
*) Use gnulib, but it is quite heavy to setup, requires modifications
to configure.ac, and other things.
*) Copy the fts function from uClibc into elfutils source code. This
is the solution used below. uClibc is LGPL, and elfutils is
LGPL/GPL, so there should not be any licensing issue.
Of course, the fts_*() functions are only built if they are not
already provided by the C library.

perf is only available since kernel 2.6.31, so if we can't find
tools/perf/Makefile, error out and tell the user about this.
perf without libelf can only be built since kernel 3.7, so error out
and tell the user about this if he's trying to build perf from a < 3.7
kernel without libelf.
Unfortunately, those tests can only be build-time checks as we either
need to know the real kernel version (i.e, using LINUX_VERSION would
not be correct as it can be a Git commit ID, or Git tag), or have
access to the kernel sources themselves. So we can't prevent those
invalid situations at the configuration, we can only nicely tell the
user at build time.

This patch adds a new package that allows to build the 'perf'
userspace tool that comes in the tools/perf directory of the kernel
sources.
It is an alternative proposal to the one done by Kaiwan Billimoria
<kaiwan.billimoria@gmail.com>, in that it creates the package in
package/perf/. It therefore properly integrates with the Buildroot
package infrastructure.
Of course, the package depends on the Linux kernel to be built by
Buildroot, in order to get Perf sources matching the version of the
kernel that will be executed.

Many users trying to use external toolchains on x86-64 machines get a
very confusing message:
"Can't execute cross-compiler"
They get this message because they forgot to install the 32 bits
compatibility libraries that are needed to run binaries compiled for
x86 on x86-64 machines.
Since this is the case for both external toolchains and certain
binary-only tools like SAM-BA, we add a new Kconfig option
BR2_HOSTARCH_NEEDS_IA32_LIBS, that packages must select if they need
the 32 bits compatibility libraries. When this option is enabled,
dependencies.sh checks that the 32 bits dynamic library loader is
present on the system, and if not, it stops and shows an error.
The path and name of the 32 bits dynamic loader is hardcoded because
it is very unlikely to change, as it would break the ABI for all
binaries.
Also, it is worth noting that the check will be done even if we're
running on a 32 bits machine. This is harmless, as 32 bits machines
necessarily have the 32 bits dynamic loader installed, so the error
will never show up in this case.

packages that exist in X.org, and that are not part of this exception
list, and are not packaged in Buildroot are still listed as "to be
