Use wget instead of curl While crosstool-NG did support either curl or wget in the past, it now only supports curl. Unfortunately, Buildroot uses wget for all its downloads, so wget is a hard dependency of Buildroot, while curl isn't. Instead of adding curl as a new Buildroot dependency, or building curl for the host, we simply tweak crosstool-NG to use wget instead of curl. The script/functions change has been provided by Yann E. Morin.
