[CLN-list] CMake build patches

[Richard B. Kreckel]

Happy New Year!

Maintaining a second build system /is/ an additional burden and requires
good justification. If it helps people build CLN on common platforms,
well, that seems to be a good enough justification! That /I/ neither use
or care about these platforms is, then, clearly subordinate.

On the other hand, and as a matter of fact, I have little time to debug it.

The existing Autotools-based build system isn't going to go away any
time soon. It shouldn't be adversely affected by supporting CMake.
Likewise, duplication must be kept at a minimum. The installed files
should be the same. Etc.

From https://github.com/asheplyakov/cln.git, I checked out the cmake
branch. Then:
$ ./configure && make distclean && ./configure && make
It seems like cl_asm.S and cl_asm_GF2.S get deleted. (Also, would it not
be best to rename the asm files included by cl_asm.S, too?)

Or, then I tried
$ ./configure && make
$ cd .. && mkdir cln_build && cd cln_build && cmake -GNinja ../cln
$ cmake --build .
and ran into the same old problems:
1) None of the macros {char|short|int|long}_{little|big}_endian are
defined in cln/intparam.h.
2) Redefinitions of makros in src/cl_config.h and cln/config.h, both
files picked up by some source files.

All my best,
