Buildroot 2020.11.4 is a bugfix release, fixing a number of important / security related issues discovered since the 2020.11.3 release.

- Dependencies: Explicitly detect and bail out if PATH contains spaces or tabs. A number of packages fail to build in such setups, so explicitly inform about this.

- support/download: Fix tarball generation (from git/svn repos) including symlinks pointing to ./<something>

- Meson: Use correct C++ host compiler (rather than C compiler)

- utils/scanpypi: Explicitly use python3 for compatibility with packages using python3 syntax in setup.py
