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
```
bdb 6.X was released under the AGPL, which is incompatible with MIT-licensed
software (the result must be licensed under AGPL). bdb 5.X uses the same license
as bdb 4.8, and thus retains the same compatibility as in upstream Bitcoin.
Thanks to Luke-Jr for raising this issue.
Now that BIP66 passed, OpenSSL is no longer directly part of the
consensus. What matters is that DER signatures are correctly parsed, and
secp256k1 crypto is implemented correctly (as well as the other
functions we use from OpenSSL, such as random number generation)
This means that effectively, using LibreSSL is not a larger risk than
using another version of OpenSSL.
Remove the specific check for LibreSSL.
Includes the still-relevant part of #6729: make sure CHECK_HEADER is
called using the right CXXFLAGS, not CFLAGS (as AC_LANG is c++).
Zcash Note:
This includes a code removal from d9add719519e2019b1f353d8d6832dcfc88ee850
that was omitted from 5a3913361d during
backporting of bitcoin/bitcoin#6501 to 0.11.* in bitcoin/bitcoin#6703
Prevent these warnings in clang 3.6:
./serialize.h:96:9: warning: explicitly assigning value of variable of type 'uint64_t' (aka 'unsigned long') to itself [-Wself-assign]
obj = (obj);

Checking libcrypto for a function after we've already found a (possibly
different) libcrypto is not what we want to do here.
pkg-config might've found a cross lib while AC_CHECK_LIB may find a different
or native one.
Run a link-test against the lib that's already been found instead.
Until secp256k1 is used for verification there is no reason for Bitcoin
Core's secp256k1 to link against gmp, even if available. Pass a flag to
configure to override the bignum implementation.
This fixes a crash at runtime on ppc64 reported by @gmaxwell.
