libcap-ng doesn't build on AVR32, since it requires TLS support in the
compiler and C library.

Fixes:

Shouldn't it then depend on BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS (and the avr32 toolchain
not select it)?

It wouldn't work with external toolchains, which is the reason why I
excluded the AVR32 architecture rather than using a BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS
condition.

Best regards,

Ok, but from your comment I believe it should also depend on
BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS (E.G. it would break on other archs if you disable
TLS support)?

If we start having other packages needing TLS, then we should perhaps
provide the option for external toolchains as well, similar to how we do
for the other toolchain settings.

If we make the package depend on BR2_GCC_ENABLE_TLS, then it would no
longer be visible for any external toolchain.

I'm always a bit reluctant to add more and more toolchain options,
since they are a pain to maintain, and do not necessarily reflect real
use cases. Is it really an useful use-case to support non-TLS
toolchains on architectures where TLS support is available?

Best regards,

Thomas
