[Buildroot] [PATCH v3 0/3] Add tainting support to buildroot

[Angelo Compagnucci]

Packages that need to resolve dependencies internally
and use a package manager would harm the reproducibility
of a build, moreover they escape the legal infrastructure
not giving enough informations on licensing.

This patch adds a tainting mechanism in the form of a
variable FOO_TAINTS that can be used to signal that
a package harms the reproducibility or licensing under
certain conditions.

This opens the door to include per language dependency
managers in buildroot.
