commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=2d262d90646de7841e5063e56fd95b4a3cfec5e6
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

cbootimage uses non-standard u_intXX_t types instead of the C99 types
uintXX_t types, which prevents it from building with the musl C library.

A patch to fix this has been submitted upstream, but since there are
many many occurences of such types, the patch is a bit large to carry in
Buildroot, especially compared to the fact that having this package
building against musl is probably not a top priority.

So for now, simply disable this package on musl, until upstream fixes
the issue and releases a new version.
