Maybe some other packages depend on these compatibility libraries, so instead
of referring to BR2_PACKAGE_LIBLOGGING in systemd.mk, it would be best to add
a generic configuration option to systemd, as done for berkeleydb with
BR2_PACKAGE_BERKELEYDB_COMPAT185. It could be named BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_COMPAT.

Then, in package/liblogging/Config.in, we would have:

  select BR2_PACKAGE_SYSTEMD_COMPAT if BR2_INIT_SYSTEMD

And this would be removed when liblogging is fixed upstream.

What do think of this?

Best regards,
