Todd Fiala 9cd9208565 Fix configure to find arc4random via header files.
ISSUE:

On Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, arc4random is provided by libbsd.so, which is a
transitive dependency of libedit. If a system had libedit on it that
was implemented in terms of libbsd.so, then the arc4random test,
previously implemented as a linker test, would succeed with -ledit.
However, on Ubuntu this would also require a #include <bsd/stdlib.h>.
This caused a build breakage on configure-based Ubuntu 12.04 with
libedit installed.

FIX:

This fix changes configure to test for arc4random by searching for it
in the standard header files. On Ubuntu 12.04, this test now properly
fails to find arc4random as it is not defined in the default header
locations. It also tweaks the #define names to match the output of the
header check command, which is slightly different than the linker
function check #defines.

I tested the following scenarios:

(1) Ubuntu 12.04 without the libedit package [did not find arc4random,
as expected]

(2) Ubuntu 12.04 with libedit package [properly did not find
arc4random, as expected]

(3) Ubuntu 12.04 with most recent libedit, custom built, and not
dependent on libbsd.so [properly did not find arc4random, as
expected].

(4) FreeBSD 10.0B1 [properly found arc4random, as expected]

Upgrading Libtool
===============================================================================

If you are in the mood to upgrade libtool, you must do the following:

 1. Get the new version of libtool and put it in <SRC>
 2. configure/build/install libtool with --prefix=<PFX>
 3. Copy <SRC>/ltdl.m4 to llvm/autoconf/m4
 4. Copy <PFX>/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 to llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4
 5. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/ltmain.sh to llvm/autoconf/ltmain.sh
 6. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.c to llvm/lib/System
 7. Copy <PFX>/share/libtool/libltdl/ltdl.h to llvm/lib/System
 8. Edit the ltdl.h file to #include "llvm/Config/config.h" at the very top. You
    might also need to resolve some compiler warnings (typically about
    comparison of signed vs. unsigned values). But, you won't find out about 
    those until you build LLVM (step 13).
 9. Edit the llvm/autoconf/m4/libtool.m4 file so that:
    a) in AC_PROB_LIBTOOL macro, the value of LIBTOOL is set to
       $(top_builddir)/mklib, not $(top_builddir)/libtool
    b) in AC_LIBTOOL_SETUP macro, the variable default_ofile is set to 
       "mklib" instead of "libtool"
    c) s/AC_ENABLE_SHARED_DEFAULT/enable_shared_default/g
    d) s/AC_ENABLE_STATIC_DEFAULT/enable_static_default/g
    e) s/AC_ENABLE_FAST_INSTALL_DEFAULT/enable_fast_install_default/g
10. Run "autoupdate libtool.m4 ltdl.m4" in the llvm/autoconf/m4 directory.
    This should correctly update the macro definitions in the libtool m4 
    files to match the version of autoconf that LLVM uses. This converts
    AC_HELP_STRING to AS_HELP_STRING and AC_TRY_LINK to AC_LINK_IFELSE, amongst
    other things. You may need to manually adjust the files.
11. Run AutoRegen.sh to get the new macros into configure script
12. If there are any warnings from AutoRegen.sh, go to step 9.
13. Rebuild LLVM, making sure it reconfigures
14. Test the JIT which uses libltdl
15. If it all works, only THEN commit the changes.

Upgrading autoconf
===============================================================================

If you are in the mood to upgrade autoconf, you should:

 1. Consider not upgrading.
 2. No really, this is a hassle, you don't want to do it.
 3. Get the new version of autoconf and put it in <SRC>
 4. configure/build/install autoconf with --prefix=<PFX>
 5. Run autoupdate on all the m4 macros in llvm/autoconf/m4
 6. Run autoupdate on llvm/autoconf/configure.ac
 7. Regenerate configure script with AutoRegen.sh
 8. If there are any warnings from AutoRegen.sh, fix them and go to step 7.
 9. Test, test, test.
