[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH] allow HOST* variables to be set from config.

[Lawrence D'Anna]

I’m using homebrew.    One of the libraries that seems to be needed is a modern version of openssl.     
The openssl included on mac os is kind of old and isn’t compatible
Homebrew installs most things to /usr/local, but Xcode doesn’t look there.   It installs openssl to /usr/local/opt
to avoid overlapping with the system’s openssl. 

I’ve also found some of the tools include  some headers from linux or glibc that you wouldn’t find on mac os,
like linux/types.h and elf.h.    I’ve extracted a sufficient set of these headers and I install them /usr/local

( https://github.com/smoofra/fake-glibc <https://github.com/smoofra/fake-glibc>  )

I’m surprised to hear you can build on mac os without any of these kinds of problems.   Could you tell me
what version of OS X and Xcode you’re on?   It I’m on mac os 10.11 / Xcode 7 so these issues might be new, 
but then again I can’t imagine what version of mac os would have had linux/types.h.
