This series enables a number of packages and dependencies to be built
for mingw32. The goal is to enable the building and packaging of QEMU
targeting mingw32 with support for SDL/VNC enabled as well as being able
to execute the qemu* machines of oe-core/meta.

The following series fixes a number of issues with compilation of
certain components that are required to build and distribute QEMU. This
series includes:

 * Enabling 'secure-api' for mingw-w64-headers
 * Fix/enable building of shared libraries for gettext
 * Work around to avoid dependency on bash for glib-2.0, clean up of
   some glib-2.0 appends which are resolved in oe-core meta
 * Better packaging of libgcc for easy use on Windows (deploy dll to
   bindir)
 * Updating FILES_* to support locations for mingw32 output (bindir
   contains .dll) for libgcc, expat, libpcre, gettext, glib-2.0, libsdl,
   libgpg-error and libgcrypt
 * Addition of PACKAGECONFIG options to libsdl, and configuring of
   PACKAGECONFIG for libsdl, glib-2.0 and libgcrypt to handle Windows
   only features and or ability to disable features that do not support
   mingw32/Windows
 * Enabling build of libfdt in the dtc recipe, but skipping dtc itself
 * Fixes for configuring libgpg-error and libgcrypt when targeting
   mingw32

The intended build execution is to allow for 'buildtools-tarball' (or
any populate_sdk target with 'nativesdk-qemu' in TOOLCHAIN_HOST_TASK) to
create an output that includes all dependent nativesdk binaries as well
as a nativesdk QEMU binaries. This series does not however address
fixing the environment setup script or self-extracting installer shell
script that is normally provided by buildtools-tarball.

This series with the multiple oe-core/meta series was tested on the
following target Windows platforms: Windows 10 (64-bit), Windows 8.1
(64-bit) and Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit).

The changes were also tested on the following Linux build hosts: Debian
8 (64-bit), Ubuntu 16.04 (64-bit), CentOS 7 (64-bit).

For convenience this series is also available in the git repository:

  https://github.com/nathanrossi/meta-mingw nrossi/mingw-qemu-v2

This series partly depends on a set of series for oe-core/meta. The
following series are required for building of QEMU (but not all parts of
this series specifically), including dll packaging detection and
libgcrypt support:

  https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/5050/
  https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/5051/
  https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/5052/
  https://patchwork.openembedded.org/series/5053/

A branch which has the series above merged has been published to allow
for easy testing, it is available at:
