[Buildroot] [PATCH] uclibc: proper thread default on m68k and Microblaze

[Yann E. MORIN]

Thomas, All,

On 2016-08-05 18:35 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Traditionally, Buildroot has a default of enabling thread
> support. However, with the current construct of the thread choice in the
> uclibc package, the m68k and microblaze architecture end up with no
> thread support as the default.
> 
> In order to avoid having to explicit a more complicated "default" value
> for the choice, we take a simple approach:
> 
>  - The "none" choice is moved at the end of the list, so that it is not
>    selected as the default unless there is really no other thread
>    implementation available.
> 
>  - We make NPTL the default thread implementation.
> 
>  - On architectures where NPTL is not available, the NPTL option will
>    not be available, so Kconfig will automatically fallback to
>    linuxthreads.

And to make things even more simple, why not move NPTL first, then LT,
then none, and remove the default?

Thus, when NPTL is avbailable, it is used; if not, LT is used; if not,
then none is used.

Yann E. MORIN.
