Thanks, I've applied to next. One comment below, though.

You could also package the corresponding dependencies as separate
packages in Buildroot. For example, it seems like the SSL support uses
axtls, which is a separate library available at
http://axtls.sourceforge.net/.

I'm not sure what is the dependency for the MICROPY_BY_BTREE option
though.

Alternatively, you could use the brand new MICROPYTHON_GIT_SUBMODULES =
YES option, which would tell our download logic to also fetch
submodules. *But* when the submodules are in fact external libraries
that could be separately packaged in Buildroot, we will very much
prefer this solution.

Thanks!

Thomas
