While the disadvantage is less available flash space, it's easy and
safe to flash without opening the device.
Going back to the original firmware is also possible.
This patch add two firmware utilities, mkbrncmdline and mkbrnboot.
mkbrncmdline patches the uncompressed kernel so the registeres a0 to
a3 are initialized and the memory size is passed in.
mkbrnboot takes the lzma compressed kernel and squashfs images and
creates a firmware image that can be flashed using the BRN-BOOT
recovery kernel, which is booted by holding both buttons when
powering up the device and will listen on http://192.168.2.1.
The firmware file from bin/lantiq/ to use is
openwrt-lantiq-danube-ARV4525PW-BRNDTW502-brnImage
The BRN-BOOT recovery kernel does size-check the image, so if it's
too big to fit into flash it will complain accordingly.
A second patch is needed to make the wired network interface work
since there is no u-boot to pre-initialise it.

The SDK when build on a machine with perl ithreads enabled will fail to run on many Gentoo systems because perl is usually built without thread capability there.
In order to circumvent this issue forcibly disable the ithreads support, tested on CentOS 5.6, Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and Gentoo.

Some vendor firmwares use a different super block magic to indicate LZMA
compression. This patches adds support for detecting this and enable
extraction for those firmware's root filesystems.

Apple has finally updated their version of Libc, and it now includes getline(). \o/
The following patch fixes OpenWRT getline.h to not redefine it for 10.7. The one
caveat is, the includes (at least stdio.h) are needed before the #ifdef so that
__DARWIN_C_LEVEL could be properly defined (it is not a compiler built-in define
like __linux__ or __APPLE__).
This one fixes the host/include/getline.h. The next patch will mend the mkimage
package.

This change allows to apply OpenWrt, Buildroot and OE libtool fixes to packages which fail badly at autoreconf.
The fixup covers the common libtool versions 1.5, 2.2 and 2.4 and automatically determines the correct
version to use.

Now:
% PATH=./staging_dir/host/bin:$PATH STAGING_PREFIX=/test PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(echo staging_dir/target-*/usr/lib/pkgconfig) ./staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config --cflags lua -I/test//include
After applying the patch:
% PATH=./staging_dir/host/bin:$PATH STAGING_PREFIX=/test PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$(echo staging_dir/target-*/usr/lib/pkgconfig) ./staging_dir/host/bin/pkg-config --cflags lua -I/test/include
I guess that there sould not be '//' but only one '/'.
