The empty executable is causing problems with meson builds, due to the
error: OSError: [Errno 8] Exec format error: 'ldconfig'
This patch changes the empty ldconfig stub to symlink to /bin/true to
work around this issue.

Debian and Ubuntu ship a python3-minimal package which does not include
the distutils module. This is not supported by upstream and can be
considered a broken python distribution.
In practice, many scripts depend on said module, and this is a reoccuring
pain point for building various OpenWrt packages.
Require and check for said module, enough time has been wasted on this.

The final Python 3.5 release was 3.5.10 in September 2020 [0].
This release series is now End-of-Life (EOL).
The only LTS distribution that still only ships Python 3.5 is Ubuntu 16.04,
which will be EOL in April 2021 [1].
The meson build system bumped their python requirement to 3.6 for the 0.57.0
release. This patch ensures that OpenWrt can update meson while still
relying on the host python.

OpenWRT requires a number of Perl modules to be installed. It wasn't checking on all of them.
This patch adds checks for Perl FindBin, File::Copy, File::Compare and Thread::Queue modules.
Failing to install these, will have the build break at some point. By adding these to the
prereq-build.mk script, they are checked on forehand.
Tested on a Fedora 33 and 34 (beta) that was freshly installed. Fedora appears to
break up Perl modules into small packages that need to be installed for the build to succeed.

The recent removal of usbutils from core and replacement by hwdata in
packages has exposed hwdata's requirement for certain GNU options on
'install' (-T) Other packages (sqm-scripts) have openwrt specific
makefile sections to avoid GNU options but I suspect this is going to
get harder in the future.
Add GNU install as a prerequisite and link into
$STAGING_DIR/host/etc/bin as per similar GNU utils
This resolves an issue building under MacOS which would otherwise use a
non-GNU options aware version of 'install'

`which` utility is not shipped by default for example on recent Arch
Linux and then any steps relying on its presence fails, like for example
following Python3 prereq build check:
$ python3 --version
Python 3.9.1
$ make
/bin/sh: line 1: which: command not found
...
Checking 'python3'... failed.
So make `which` utility host build requirement.

FS#2086 "IS_TTY in the makefile is broken" reports flawed detection of
stdout piping to a file. The issue describes how e.g. terminal color
codes and up in log files if running make like `make > log.txt`.
The proposed solution uses the make variable "MAKE_TERMOUT", which was
introduced in make 4.1. All major distributions seem to updated to 4.1
or later, so this ideally dosen't break anything.

The buildroot and SDK both require the compilers (gcc, g++) to be
installed on the host system, however the ImageBuilder uses precompiled
binaries.
This patch changes the prerequirements checks to skip the checking for
the compilers if running as ImageBuilder. A similar change has been
made for libncurses-dev in 4a1a58a3e2.

There is a restriction in the number of parameters(10) that may be passed to
the SetupHostCommand macro so continually adding explicit gcc'n' version
checks ends up breaking the compiler check for the later versions and
oddballs like Darwin as was done in 835d1c68a0 which added gcc10.
Drop all the explicitly specified gcc version checks. If a suitable gcc
compiler is not found, it may be specified at the dependency checking
stage after which that version will be symlinked into the build staging
host directory.
eg. 'CC=gccfoo CXX=g++foo make prereq'

getopt is the only command where /usr/local/bin is specified explicitly.
All other commands are assumed to exist in the PATH in one form or
another. Remove this exception and require gnugetopt/getopt to be in
the user's PATH.
In the case of macos Homebrew, getopt is 'keg only' hence not linked
into /usr/local/bin whilst other commands are linked and likely found by
virtue of /usr/local/bin being in PATH.
Since 2019 Homebrew is very reluctant to install links that have
potential to override default OS behaviour, eg: following instructions
on our current 'how to build on macos' wiki page:
$ brew ln gnu-getopt --force
Warning: Refusing to link macOS-provided software: gnu-getopt
If you need to have gnu-getopt first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/gnu-getopt/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.zshrc
A better option for macos is to link getopt as 'gnugetopt' in
/usr/local/bin, thus the build system will find 'gnugetopt' but other
applications looking for just 'getopt' will find the original macos
binary.
Ultimately it makes sense that 'GNU' dependencies are placed in
/usr/local/bin and /usr/local/bin is included in the user's PATH.
