Created attachment 4358

patch to make kexec compile in cross-builds

Building kexec as part of buildroot with the uclibc library I get that the
bin-to-hex utility fails to build, this is because it requires libc.so.0 which
is not available on the host and is only generated as part of the buildroot
tree. To overcome this kexec needs to build bin-to-hex with the HOSTCC. I've
noticed that this was a patch in buildroot which was dropped at some point. So
I recreated it, I also sent it to upstream kexec-tools mailing list and hope it
will be accepted for future versions.

The patch as needed for buildroot is attached, it needs to be dropped into
packages/kexec/
