Draft: community/kbuild: upgrade to kBuild SVN r3606

Valery Ushakov requested to merge nbuwe/aports:community-kbuild-r3606 into master

kbuild ships quite old versions of various GNU programs. As gcc 14 made more warnings into errors, kbuild is no longer buildable with gcc 14. This MR upgrades kbuild to its recent SVN head. kbuild is only used to build VirtualBox guest additions and VirtualBox itself uses this revision.

Unfortunately there are no official releases for kbuild, so this aport needs a locally hosted source tarball. If this MR is acceptable, whoever will be merging it must do something like:

svn export -r$svnrev http://svn.netlabs.org/repos/kbuild/trunk kbuild-r$svnrev
tar -cf - --owner=0 --group=0 kbuild-r$svnrev | xz > kbuild-r$svnrev.tar.xz

and publish the result at https://dev.alpinelinux.org/archive/kbuild/
