iozone uses pthread_setaffinity_np, which is not supported
in Linuxthreads.

BR2_PTHREADS_NATIVE is a Config.in option that only makes sense in the
context of the internal toolchain backend. So any usage of it in
package/ is going to not be suitable for external toolchain usage. So
your change, as is, would disable thread support in IOZone for any
external toolchain.

Best regards,

Thomas

Should we add a BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS_NATIVE to toolchain/toolchain-common.in? Or do you have another suggestion?

Yes, I believe that's the only solution. In fact, it could also be used
instead of the BR2_TOOLCHAIN_LIBC_NEEDS_THREE_STAGE_BUILD that's being
added by my proposed patch "[PATCH] toolchain-internal: skip
gcc-intermediate when possible".

Best regards,

Thomas

Do you think that it's a safe assumption that GLIBC toolchains have NPTL? (just like BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS is selected already if BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC).
