We want to use the github helper since there is not a specific releases
tarball that we can download, as specified in the manual.
This tarball is generated from the tag, which doesn't contains the
autotools generated files, we then need to use AUTORECONF.
We want to use the github helper anyway as the current URL use an old
GitHub feature which was called 'Download' where you could upload files
along your repositories, theses files were not related to your tags.
This features has been replaced with the 'Release' option where you can
create a release from a git tag. But these tarball are generated from
the sources and they don't contains all the generated autotools file.
Since the old URL scheme can be deprecated at any time, we want to
switch to the new URL scheme, which in the case of libevent, implies
having to do an AUTORECONF.
The patch that was already present is updated to apply against
Makefile.am instead of Makefile.in
The second patch is backported from upstream to remove the use of
$(top_src_dirs) which makes current autotools error out.

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:
1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) Use your shiny new root filesystem. Depending on which sort of
root filesystem you selected, you may want to loop mount it,
chroot into it, nfs mount it on your target device, burn it
to flash, or whatever is appropriate for your target system.
You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun!
Offline build:
==============
In order to do an offline-build (not connected to the net), fetch all
selected source by issuing a
$ make source
before you disconnect.
If your build-host is never connected, then you have to copy buildroot
and your toplevel .config to a machine that has an internet-connection
and issue "make source" there, then copy the content of your dl/ dir to
the build-host.
Building out-of-tree:
=====================
Buildroot supports building out of tree with a syntax similar
to the Linux kernel. To use it, add O=<directory> to the
make command line, E.G.:
$ make O=/tmp/build
And all the output files (including .config) will be located under /tmp/build.
More finegrained configuration:
===============================
You can specify a config-file for uClibc:
$ make UCLIBC_CONFIG_FILE=/my/uClibc.config
And you can specify a config-file for busybox:
$ make BUSYBOX_CONFIG_FILE=/my/busybox.config
To use a non-standard host-compiler (if you do not have 'gcc'),
make sure that the compiler is in your PATH and that the library paths are
setup properly, if your compiler is built dynamically:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3.orig HOSTCXX=gcc-4.3-mine
Depending on your configuration, there are some targets you can use to
use menuconfig of certain packages. This includes:
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 linux-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 uclibc-menuconfig
$ make HOSTCC=gcc-4.3 busybox-menuconfig
