Some packages and BR itself create files and directories on the target
with cp/mkdir/etc which depend on the umask at the time of building.

To fix this, use a trick inside the Makefile which wraps all rules when
the umask is not 0022. This sets the umask at the top level, and then
the building process continues as usual.

 What is this * supposed to do? It will expand to all existing files and
directories in the buildroot directory... Don't you mean:

.PHONY: all $(MAKECMDGOALS)

?


 Otherwise, looks good.

 BTW wouldn't it be nice to add the umask setting to the generated Makefile in
the $(O) directory, to avoid another level of make?

You should use $(MAKE) instead of just 'make'.

I'm not too fond of --no-print-directory, because it is gonna be
inherited by all sub-makes, and especially the sub-makes that actually
build the packages. I don't care we have an extra "Entering directory"
message.

Also, did you check how that plays with top-level parallel builds? I'm
not too fond of it, but some users want to use it. See the comment a bit
further in the Makefile.

Ditto.

 Note that the generated Makefile in $(O) does add --no-print-directory...

And guess who added that generated file?

    # git blame support/scripts/mkmakefile
    [...]
    aefad531 scripts/mkmakefile         (Yann E. MORIN    2010-09-26 10:56:12 +0200 31) MAKEFLAGS += --no-print-directory
    [...]

Ok, Ok. :-)
