[1/1] package/libgpg-error: needs MMU

libgpg-error imported code using fork() in commit [1] and enabled it
soon after in [2]. Those commits were first included in libgpg-error
version 1.28.

For reference, the libgpg-error Buildroot package was updated to that
version in commit [3].

When Buildroot configuration has no MMU support (e.g. BR2_USE_MMU is
not set), libgpg-error fails to build with error:

    /build/host/opt/ext-toolchain/arm-buildroot-uclinux-uclibcgnueabi/bin/ld.real: ./.libs/libgpg-error.a(libgpg_error_la-spawn-posix.o): in function '_gpgrt_process_spawn':
    spawn-posix.c:(.text+0x630): undefined reference to 'fork'

This issue can be observed with the command:

    utils/test-pkg -a -p libgpg-error

It will show few build failures:

    ...
       bootlin-armv7m-uclibc [ 6/41]: FAILED
    ...
    bootlin-m68k-5208-uclibc [ 8/41]: FAILED
    ...

This commit fixes the issue by adding the package dependency on
BR2_USE_MMU.

This commit also propagates this dependency on the libgcrypt and
libksba packages. They are requiring libgpg-error but had no
dependency on MMU.

Finally, for completeness, for all other packages requiring
libgpg-error which already had the dependency on BR2_USE_MMU, the
corresponding comment is updated to reflect that change. Namely: gcr,
gnupg2, libassuan, libgpgme, libostree, netatalk, pinentry, vpnc, and
wireshark. Note: for simplifity, few packages already depending on
BR2_USE_MMU but having libgpg-error as an optional dependency are not
updated (libjcat, mutt and opkg).

Thanks for doing this, but it seems to me that you forgot a number of
packages. Basically all packages that "select BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR"
need to be fixed. And then once you have this list of packages, you
need check all packages that "select" those packages, and so on
recursively. For example, you forgot package/crda, or package/libbdplus.

But in fact. BR2_USE_MMU is an architecture dependency, so simply
update:

config BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR_ARCH_SUPPORTS

to add a "depends on BR2_USE_MMU". This will magically propagate it.

Using "optional dependency" here confused me. When I hear "optional
dependency", I usually think about:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR),y)
FOOBAR_CONF_OPTS += --enable-bla
FOOBAR_DEPENDENCIES += libgpg-error
else
FOOBAR_CONF_OPTS += --disable-bla
endif

So indeed, for libjcat, it's an optional dependency and in such a case,
we really don't care as BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR will only be "y" if it
can be enabled.

However, for opkg there's a suboption that selects
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR, but the main BR2_PACKAGE_OPKG option already
depends on BR2_USE_MMU. I think you should distinguish the two cases,
but the first one really isn't relevant at all in the discussion, while
the second case matters.

Could you rework your patch to simply put the dep into
BR2_PACKAGE_LIBGPG_ERROR_ARCH_SUPPORTS ?

Thanks a lot!

Committed to 2024.02.x, thanks.
