PATCH v3 1/1 dependencies: some improvements
This series has been updated as follows:
- move 'Move toolchain/dependencies to support/dependencies' to first position
- new patch to check for minimal make version
- update suitable-host-package and tar patches based on comments and remove tar chicken-egg problem. The latter change greatly simplifies things IMO.

PATCH v3 1/1 dependencies: move from toolchain/ to support/
As suggested by Arnout Vandecappelle, move toolchain/dependencies to support/dependencies, as it really is not toolchain-specific anymore.

PATCH v3 1/1 dependencies: check minimal make version early on
In reply to Thomas De SchampheleireAlthough support/dependencies/dependencies.sh checks for the version of make, this script doesn't get a chance to run if make encounters a syntax error as a result of being too old.
For example, the following syntax is only supported from make 3.81 onwards:
ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_BUILDROOT),y)
include toolchain/toolchain-buildroot.mk
else ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL),y)
include toolchain/toolchain-external.mk
else ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_CTNG),y)
include toolchain/toolchain-crosstool-ng.mk
endif
This patch adds a check for the version of make very early in the Makefile, so that old make versions are handled gracefully.

PATCH v3 1/1 dependencies: add function suitable-host-package
In reply to Thomas De SchampheleireSometimes, buildroot needs a certain host tool to do its job, e.g. tar. In many cases, we expect this tool to be present on the host system, but this is not always the case. Or maybe, the version on the host system is not suitable, and we need a more recent one.
In some of these cases, instead of bailing out, buildroot could build the package first (but only if the existing system package is not suitable).
To aid in detecting if a host package is suitable or not, this patch adds a function suitable-host-package. When called with parameter foo, it will execute check-host-foo.sh. This script should return either the path to the suitable host package, or the empty string if no suitable package can be found. The rules to determine whether something is suitable or not is left to check-host-foo.sh and depends on foo.
An example usage of suitable-host-package is:DEPENDENCIES_HOST_PREREQ += $(if $(call suitable-host-package,foo),,host-foo)
To avoid cluttering the existing dependencies.mk file, it includes any check-host-foo.mk file. These files can be used to hold appropriate dependency-related actions for foo.

PATCH v3 1/1 dependencies: build a host-tar if no suitable tar can be found
In reply to Thomas De SchampheleireSome toolchains, like the one built with buildroot itself, use hardlinks (for example to link between the c++ and g++ binary). Unpacking such a toolchain with the --strip-components options does not work correctly if the system tar is too old (<1.17). Even recent releases of RedHat/CentOS still ship with tar 1.15.
This patch checks for a suitable tar version (tar 1.17+) on the host system, and adds host-tar to the host dependencies if none can be found.
host-tar is download and extracted as cpio.gz instead of tar.gz, to prevent chicken-egg problem.
