[Peter Korsgaard]

Hi,

(http://buildroot.org).

Buildroot 2018.02.3 is a bugfix release on the current long term
release, fixing a number of important / security related issues
discovered since the 2018.02.2 release.

- Various fixes for building on modern distributions (GCC 8.x, no rpcgen
  utility).

- ARM: Default to binutils 2.28 and warn about newer binutils versions,
  which are known to cause boot failures for Linux kernels built in
  thumb mode.

- Busybox/mdev: Fix module autoloading.

- Busybox/sysvinit: inittab: Add /dev/{stdin,stdout,stderr} symlinks,
  call swapon -a to activate any configured swap devices.

- Dependencies: Check that PATH does not contain current working
  directory, which triggers a number of build failures.

- Infrastructure: Error out for packages erroneously using the 'local'
  site method but not defining a _SITE.

- Linux: Fix cuImage.<dtb> / simpleImage.<dtb> handling.  Ensure kconfig
  uses ncurses from the host to fix a ncurses/ncursesw mixup, causing
  menuconfig display corruption.

- Toolchain: Workarounds for fix-rpath issues with binutils and elf2flt.

- Util-linux: Fix blocking on getrandom() issue with recent kernels.

- Remove broken freescale_imx31_3stack, freescale_imx6sololiteevk and
  freescale_imx6ulevk defconfigs.

- Security fixes for file, git, glibc, gnupg, gnupg2, imagemagick,
  libcurl, libgcrypt, libressl, libvncserver, libvorbis, libxslt,
  mariadb, mbedtls, mpg123, nodejs, perl, procps-ng, redis, wavpack,
  wget, wireshark, xen
