Oh, btw, also make it work, since the build was completely broken since the recent -K refactoring :0)

= gem5

We Build gem5 as a Buildroot package for the following reasons:
|
|
|
|
* if we build in tree without Buildroot, we still want to build the `m5` tool through Buildroot. But then Buildroot rsyncs the build for all archs into `output/build`, which takes quite some disk space. There seems to be no way to exclude some packages from the sync.
|
|
* it allows us to reuse Buildroot's:
|
|
** configuration system, which reduces duplication: set the gem5 package option, everything just gets built
|
|
** timestamping system, which could save a few seconds on rebuilds, since we then don't ever run `scons` when gem5 is not modified
|
|
|

What is preventing upstreaming to Buildroot: a minimal kernel config like the ones QEMU has.
