Hi,
Unfortunately, this is not that simple, I cannot find a simply way to 
download a single flat file,
because the download system makes a strong assumption that it is a tar file.

my best option seems to be something like:


CROSS_LDD_VERSION = 6c9c724ebd6a29c279c6e5734e44c07f067808ec
CROSS_LDD_SOURCE = $(CROSS_LDD_VERSION)/cross-compile-ldd

CROSS_LDD_SITE = 
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/jerome-pouiller/c403786c1394f53f44a3b61214489e6f/raw

define HOST_CROSS_LDD_EXTRACT_CMDS
     # Single file, no extract needed
     cp $(HOST_CROSS_LDD_DL_DIR)/cross-compile-ldd $(@D)
endef

Regards,
Thierry
