[Buildroot] [PATCH 0/6] package/pseudo: fix build and better mimic fakeroot

[Yann E. MORIN]

Hello All!

When we switched from using fakeroot to using pseudo, a lot of
assumptions were made, in that we assumed pseudo was by default
behaving as fakeroot did.

That is wrong. pseudo is a little bit more versatile than fakeroot
is, so using it is a little bit more involved.

First, its buildsystem is a bit convoluted, and can incorrectly guess
the host charateristics, like bitness.

Second, it needs to be told at runtime where to look at, and put its
own stuff. It correctly gueses, but prints a warning that it had to
gues, and the location to store its DB is not optimum (even if not
incorrect).

So, this series ensures that pseudo is correctly built and that we
correctly specify the runtime configuration.


Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
