Tree/Branch: Poky/Master
Poky Commit: 7cd2ac0e40d854bab9a32512018aff6172500c0e

With latest yocto tree, cvs configure fail with i686-mips or x86_64-mips toolchain. The error message is as below. The culprit is that cvs_cv_func_printf_ptr is not set in site/mips-commmon. For other targets, like arm and ppc, it is set for them.

Working with Khem to port his patch from openembedded to oe-core
