commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=b3bdde2b1b3e69211e637fd99b24bfa38b41c350
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Since glibc 2.30, a tgkill() function is exposed by the C library, but
google-breakpad has its own internal definition of it, which now
conflicts. This causes build failures on modern build machines (when
building google-breakpad for the host).

This commit adds a patch that simply renames the internal tgkill()
function to BreakpadTgkill() to avoid the naming conflict.

We do that instead of a configure.ac change to avoid having to
autoreconf this package, and because the fix is anyway not
upstreamable as upstream simply dropped the internal tgkill()
implementation, but using that would break building google-breakpad on
older systems.

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] src/client/linux/handler/exception_handler.cc: rename tgkill

+
+Since glibc 2.30, a tgkill() function was added in the C library, and
+its definition obviously conflicts with the internal definition of
+google-breakpad, causing build failures:
+
+src/client/linux/handler/exception_handler.cc:109:12: error: ‘int tgkill(pid_t, pid_t, int)’ was declared ‘extern’ and later ‘static’ [-fpermissive]
+  109 | static int tgkill(pid_t tgid, pid_t tid, int sig) {
+      |            ^~~~~~
+In file included from /usr/include/signal.h:374,
+                 from ./src/client/linux/handler/exception_handler.h:33,
+                 from src/client/linux/handler/exception_handler.cc:66:
+/usr/include/bits/signal_ext.h:29:12: note: previous declaration of ‘int tgkill(__pid_t, __pid_t, int)’
+   29 | extern int tgkill (__pid_t __tgid, __pid_t __tid, int __signal);
+      |            ^~~~~~
+
+Upstream google-breakpad simply dropped the use of the internal
+tgkill() in commit
+https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/+/7e3c165000d44fa153a3270870ed500bc8bbb461. However,
+this is not realistic for Buildroot, since we do support old systems
+where the system C library will not necessarily provide tgkill().
