busybox: always start do_compile with orig config files
When compiling busybox a second time (e.g. with `compile -f`), busybox can use an altered autoconf.h file for compiling, which can ultimately produces different and unwanted binaries. This can produce errors like this one: ERROR: busybox-1.35.0-r0 do_package: Error executing a python function in exec_func_python() autogenerated: The stack trace of python calls that resulted in this exception/failure was: File: 'exec_func_python() autogenerated', lineno: 2, function: <module> 0001: *** 0002:ptest_update_alternatives(d) 0003: File: '…/poky/meta/classes/ptest.bbclass', lineno: 100, function: ptest_update_alternatives 0096: for alt_name, alt_link, alt_target, _ in alternatives: 0097: # Some alternatives are for man pages, 0098: # check if the alternative is in PATH 0099: if os.path.dirname(alt_link) in bin_paths: *** 0100: os.symlink(alt_target, os.path.join(ptest_bindir, alt_name)) 0101:} 0102: 0103:do_configure_ptest_base[dirs] = "${B}" 0104:do_compile_ptest_base[dirs] = "${B}" Exception: FileExistsError: [Errno 17] File exists: '/bin/busybox.suid' -> '…/busybox/1.35.0-r0/package/usr/lib/busybox/ptest/bin/login' This happens because ALTERNATIVE:busybox contains `/bin/login` twice, initially that's because `/bin/login` is present in both busybox.links.suid and busybox.links.nosuid. The reason for that is because of the altered autoconf.h. Steps to reproduce above error: <add ptest to distro configs> bitbake busybox -c clean bitbake busybox -c package -f bitbake busybox -c compile -f bitbake busybox -c package -f This patch guards against potential bugs by: - making a backup of .config and autoconf.h that have matching timestamps. - make sure do_compile always starts with these files. - restore .config and autoconf.h at the end of do_compile.
