[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-4.1] contrib/elf2dmp: Build download.o with CURL_CFLAGS

[Peter Maydell]

contrib/elf2dmp has a source file which uses curl/curl.h;
although we link the final executable with CURL_LIBS, we
forgot to build this source file with CURL_CFLAGS, so if
the curl header is in a place that's not already on the
system include path then it will fail to build.

Add a line specifying the cflags needed for download.o;
while we are here, bring the specification of the libs
into line with this, since using a per-object variable
setting is preferred over adding them to the final
executable link line.

I'm pretty sure this is what's causing the compile
failure described at:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57102476/qemu-recipe-for-target-contrib-elf2dmp-download-o-failed
I haven't actually got a setup that reproduces the error,
though, so this is tested by looking at the command lines
run on an Ubuntu setup that compiles even without the fix.

There's an argument for splitting this into two patches,
I suppose, one which just fixes the CURL_CFLAGS bug and
one which tidies the CURL_LIBS handling. But it didn't
seem worth it to me. Let me know if you'd prefer it split.

Thanks. Since we don't have an obvious route for elf2dmp patches
to go into master I'll just put this in via the arm pullreq
I'm putting together for rc2.
