On fedora 20 64bits host, the file /usr/share/config.site contains
a fix for installing libraries into /lib/lib64 on 64bits systems
that redefine libdir in the generated Makefile

For safety and avoid the bug #7262 [1], disable loading this file
when running the configure script for the target and the host.

Note: configure scripts generated with autoconf < 2.65 will source
the /dev/null and print this line:
"configure: loading site script /dev/null"

v2:
 Use /dev/null for CONFIG_SITE to avoid sourcing a file nammed "no"
 (ThomasDS and Mike Zick)
 Add a note about autoconf version
 Add reference to the bug #7262

I am wondering if this change should go in master (for 2014.08) or in
the next branch (for 2014.11). That close to the release, doing a
change in the core infrastructure seems a bit invasive to me. What if
it breaks the build of other packages? Seems unlikely, I admit, but
still. What do others think?

Thanks!

Thomas

I think this patch can go to next since the issue is already fixed in master but
just for host-localedef.

Actually, it seems that only host-localedef was affected by this issue.

Best regards,
Romain

I was going to judge 'master', but then I saw Romain's reply. The
reported bug is indeed already fixed, and no other problems were
reported so far, so I agree now with applying these patches to -next.

Best regards,
 Thomas
