[PATCH] Add yasm to configure --build-cross-tools

[umccullough]

Since a recent version of yasm is now in the buildtools/trunk, and there are several targets in the Haiku repo that require yasm to build for x86, I have put together a patch that builds yasm when the configure --build-cross-tools[-gcc4] is invoked.

This patch has a couple issues, but does work on two of my Linux machines here, using both gcc2 and gcc4 cross tools.

Issue 1: It prefixes the binary with i586-pc-haiku- when that is mostly unnecessary (since there isn't anything inherently haiku-specific about the yasm that is built).

Issue 2: It will build yasm even for non-x86 targets when using --build-cross-tools-gcc4

Issue 3: It hasn't been tested on other environments yet, nor on a native Haiku system... YMMV.

patch to add yasm to cross-tools creation

[bonefish]

As of hrev30146 yasm is no longer in the buildtools module. Since hrev30145 configure checks the yasm version and points to the official download location.

Thanks! Do you reckon it would be possible to accommodate for yasm 0.7.0 and 0.7.1 as well? PulkoMandy has reported successful compilation with 0.7.0 and so can I with 0.7.1 (Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty). I noticed that you made special provisions for those versions in trunk/configure, although the are currently not accepted. Of course, I cannot really say if compiling equals working without knowing what and how to test properly. That would be for dlmcpaul to advice on, I guess. Anyway, thanks for straighting things out.
