[Buildroot] [git commit branch/next] package/qemu: filter out long make options

[Yann E. MORIN]

commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=5108554dfe0d4815c9c84f75b118298c147ccd33
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/next

Since qemu started using ninja, they have the following fragment in the
Makefile:

MAKE.n = $(findstring n,$(firstword $(MAKEFLAGS)))
NINJAFLAGS = ... $(if $(MAKE.n), -n) ...

Buildroot's generated makefile in the O= directory invokes make in the
base buildroot with --no-print-directory. However, make's placement of
the --no-print-directory in MAKEFLAGS varies between the versions of
the host make; make 4.3 places that at the end while make 3.82 places
it at the beginning. As a result, if building on a system with an older
host make, qemu's makefile invokes `ninja -n` which does not generate
any outputs.

To reproduce, on a CentOS 7 machine or docker image:
  mkdir /tmp/br-build && cd /tmp/br-build
  make -C ~/buildroot pc_x86_64_bios_defconfig O=`pwd`
  make menuconfig # Switch to glibc, enable "QEMU" and "QEMU tools"
  make all # Build succeeds
  find target -name qemu-img # No binary has been built

Pick up the fix commited in Qemu upstream.

+Subject: [PATCH] Makefile: ignore long options
+
+When searching for options like -n in MAKEFLAGS, current code may result
+in a false positive match when make is invoked with long options like
+--no-print-directory. This has been observed with certain versions of
+host make (e.g. 3.82) while building the Qemu package in buildroot.
+
+Filter out such long options before searching for one-character options.
