[Bug 1295072] Re: qemu 1.7 should build-depend on libfdt-dev higher than 1.4.0

[Serge Hallyn]

Re-marking confirmed for qemu to remind us that we must remove the
version from the libfdt-dev dependency for qemu.

** Description changed:

+ ==================================
+ Impact: libfdt-dev is unusable
+ Fix: we use the patch from debian wheezy to export the needed .h file.
+ Test case: download qemu package from trusty, remove the "<< 1.4.0" versioning from the libfdt-dev dependency, and try to build
+ Regression Potential there should be none, we simply export another .h file.
+ ==================================
+ 
  The configure scripts checks for fdt by looking at libfdt_env.h
  
  configure:2610: #include <libfdt_env.h>
  
  This file only exists in libfdt-dev version 1.4.0 and onwards, so it makes sense to specify build-dependency on that version. Otherwise, configure fails with:
-     error_exit "DTC not present. Your options:" \
-         "  (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package" \
-         "  (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:" \
-         "      git submodule update --init dtc"
+     error_exit "DTC not present. Your options:" \
+         "  (1) Preferred: Install the DTC devel package" \
+         "  (2) Fetch the DTC submodule, using:" \
+         "      git submodule update --init dtc"

** Changed in: qemu (Ubuntu)
       Status: Fix Released => Confirmed
