How much effort is it to instead fix uClibc to not break with more recent kernel headers? It seems a little bit annoying to me that we need to carry this !BR2_avr32 dependency for all new kernel headers version. If the fix is one or two simple patches for uClibc 0.9.31, it might be worthwhile. And if it's not the case, I believe I'd prefer the dependency to be on the uClibc version (i.e 'depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_UCLIBC_0_9_31') instead of on the architecture, because the problem seem more related to the uClibc version rather than the architecture. Best regards, Thomas

I did actually submit a patch to fix this some time ago; see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/213384/ However, the patch was not accepted, and the discussion degenerated into a debate about gcc versions. I can revive that patch if you think it appropriate...? > And if it's not the case, I believe I'd prefer the dependency to be on > the uClibc version (i.e 'depends on !BR2_PACKAGE_UCLIBC_0_9_31') > instead of on the architecture, because the problem seem more related > to the uClibc version rather than the architecture. Yes, agreed. Simon.
