The -debug tarballs/zips contain detached debugging symbols. To use them, place
in the same dir as the target binary, and invoke gdb as usual.
Also, because the debug symbols add a substantial space requirement, the build
dirs are now deleted when they're no longer needed.
This removes the following executables from the binary gitian release:
- test_bitcoin-qt[.exe]
- bench_bitcoin[.exe]
@jonasschnelli and me discussed this on IRC a few days ago - unlike the
normal `bitcoin_tests` which is useful to see if it is safe to run
bitcoin on a certain OS/environment combination, there is no good reason
to include these. Better to leave them out to reduce the download
size.
Sizes from the 0.12 release:
```
2.4M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/bench_bitcoin.exe
22M bitcoin-0.12.0/bin/test_bitcoin-qt.exe
```

- fix parsing of BIND_NOW with older readelf
- add _IO_stdin_used to ignored exports
For details see: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=634261#109
- add check-symbols and check-security make targets
These are not added to the default checks because some of them depend on
release-build configs.
- always link librt for glibc back-compat builds
glibc absorbed clock_gettime in 2.17. librt (its previous location) is safe to
link in anyway for back-compat.
Fixes#7420
- add security/symbol checks to gitian

These are changes I needed to get gitian building to work with Debian
8.2, which is the version we tell to use.
- Set up NAT, so that container can access network beyond host
- Remove explicit cgroup setup - these are mounted automatically now
- gitian: Need `ca-certificates` and `python` for LXC builds

Common sentiment is that the miniupnpc codebase likely contains further
vulnerabilities.
I'd prefer to get rid of the dependency completely, but a compromise for
now is to at least disable it by default.
For Gitian releases:
- Windows builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ was already linked statically.
- OSX builds remain unchanged. libstdc++ is tied to the SDK and not worth
messing with.
- Linux builds now statically link libstdc++.
For Travis:
- Match the previous behavior by adding --enable-reduce-exports as
necessary.
- Use static libstdc++ for the full Linux build.
Since permissions and timestamps are changed for the sake of determinism,
. must not be added to the archive. Otherwise, tar may try to modify pwd when
extracting.

Descriptors now make use of the dependencies builder, so results are cached.
A very new version (>= e9741525c) of Gitian should be used in order to take
advantage of caching.

Just in case - there is no vulnerability that affects ecdsa signing or
verification.
The MITM attack vulnerability (CVE-2014-0224) may have some effect on
our usage of SSL/TLS.
As long as payment requests are signed (which is the common case), usage
of the payment protocol should also not be affected.
The TLS usage in RPC may be at risk for MITM attacks. If you have
`-rpcssl` enabled, be sure to update OpenSSL as soon as possible.

If the `libqt4-dev` package is installed it picks the moc executable
from the system instead of our custom-built one. This results in
compatibility errors.
This commit convinces configure to pick the right one.
This avoids conflicts between the libraries statically linked into bitcoin and any
libraries we may link dynamically (such as Qt and OpenSSL, see issue #4094).
It also avoids start-up overhead to not export any unnecessary symbols.
To do this, build a linker script that marks all symbols as local.
Should make it possible to run the resulting GUI executable on
Linux distributions that use Qt 4.6, such as Debian Wheezy and Tails.
Builds a mini-SDK for building against Qt 4.6. This includes the headers
as well as host utilities such as `lrelease`, `qrc` and `moc`.
This speeds up the gitian build a bit - libqt4-dev pulled in a lot of packages,
and is no longer needed as this provides a replacement of our own.
Note: This does not replace the Qt build with at static library. After this
commit we still build dynamically against the system Qt library. The only
difference is that compatibility with an older version is maintained. This
loses minor GUI functionality (such as setPlaceholderText) but still
allows integration into the window management of the host OS, unlike
when statically linking.
