Fix ARM builds

[mpranj]

Closes #3450.

Thank you so much for finally fixing this 👍

Do you need help for testing? (Basically we are not in a hurry, so Harald can also test after the release and if there is still a problem we fix it in the next release.)

Unfortunately it was basically done a long time ago. I was just unable to test it due to a broken OpenWRT SDK at the time. (and the SDK was broken for quite some time)

I now tested with a new OpenWRT SDK locally and it builds successfully.

One remaining problem is: the OpenWRT package/Makefile for Elektra is at 0.9.2 and will need to be updated. Lots of gone plugins (tcl, path, ini which was the default storage) and so on. I just did a dirty fix by removing everything and replacing ini with toml, so I could test the build.

I think it's better if Harald fixes the package for real and maybe tests the changes (when we release 0.9.5). I am not an OpenWRT user and I don't have the capacity to always test it. We should definitely ping him when the release is done.

One takeaway could also be: it could be beneficial to add some kind of ARM builds for testing.

Thank you so much that you even tried to compile OpenWRT to fix the issue. I am in contact with Harald and will tell him after the release. Can you post the package/Makefile which compiled somewhere so that he can pick it up?

One takeaway could also be: it could be beneficial to add some kind of ARM builds for testing.

Yes, definitely. It is on the (unfortunately very long) TODO list of @robaerd #3519
We should try to take less of @robaerd's time so that he can do more of this TODO list 😉

I agree @robaerd has done excellent work ❤️ and we should let him focus more on his list.
