The ICMP RFC says that identifier and sequence number may be zero.
Having them zero for a Echo message, along with a data of zero's
as well will result in a Echo reply message with only zero's.
Some NAT implementations seem to get the checksum wrong on these
packages. Setting a checksum of 0x0 instead of 0xffff.
Through NAT:
Internet Control Message Protocol
Type: 0 (Echo (ping) reply)
Code: 0
Checksum: 0x0000 [incorrect, should be 0xffff]
Identifier (BE): 0 (0x0000)
Identifier (LE): 0 (0x0000)
Sequence number (BE): 0 (0x0000)
Sequence number (LE): 0 (0x0000)
Data (56 bytes)
Data: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...
[Length: 56]
Without NAT:
Internet Control Message Protocol
Type: 0 (Echo (ping) reply)
Code: 0
Checksum: 0xffff [correct]
Identifier (BE): 0 (0x0000)
Identifier (LE): 0 (0x0000)
Sequence number (BE): 0 (0x0000)
Sequence number (LE): 0 (0x0000)
[Request frame: 189]
[Response time: 0.024 ms]
Data (56 bytes)
Data: 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000...
[Length: 56]
And this in turn will make some hardware MAC checksum offloading
engines drop the packet.
(This was seen with a Synopsis MAC, the same one used in for instance the
stmmac Ethernet driver in the linux kernel.)
This change can be seen as a workaround for bugs in other layers.
But just setting an identifier for the Echo message packet will
avoid prodding the hornets nest.

The somewhat new "unpack in memory" code was broken
for xmalloc_open_zipped_read_close() on NOMMU: we seek back
over signature, but then expect it to be already consumed.
Stop seeking back in this case.

Some users start ntpd on boot, and don't babysit it. If it dies because
DNS is not yet up and therefore NTP servers can't be found, users are
not happy.
Example behavior with a peer name which can't be resolved:

This makes "make menuconfig" also work on systems where ncurses is not
installed in a standard location (such as on NixOS).
This patch changes ccflags() so that it tries pkg-config first, and only
if pkg-config fails does it go back to the fallback/manual checks. This
is the same algorithm that ldflags() already uses.
