Thanks for this patch. We discussed it yesterday evening during the
Patchwork cleanup session, and we have a few comments about your patch,
see below...

We already have an entry for that in the "Host utilities" sub-menu, for
which you can see the config option in:

    package/util-linux/Config.in.host

    config BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UTIL_LINUX
        bool "host util-linux"
        [...]

The conclusion of the Patchwork cleanup session was:

  - packages needing the host util-linux libuuid should build-depend on
    host-util-linux via FOO_DEPENDENCIES;

  - packages that need the host util-linux programs (none so far),
    should kconfig-depend on BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UTIL_LINUX with a "select"
    directive;

  - users who explicitly need host util-linux (libs or programs) should
    enable it in the Host utilities" sub-menu.

So, instead of adding a new config option, just use the existing one.

OK, but switch to using BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_UTIL_LINUX instead.

Care to resend this patch with the above addressed, please?

Thank you! :-)
