Buildroot packaging status

[Romain Naour]

Hello,

Here is the test of poke on riscv64 cpu running with Qemu:
https://asciinema.org/a/LktW74N1hpbw0q1DvgslaEP8J
I did the same test on riscv32.

During the jitsi meeting the poke build system has been tested with a lot of
toolchains (cross-compilation only):

SKIPPED : mean that poke package can't be selected with the toolchain.
OK      : poke package was build correctly (there is no runtime testing).
FAILED  : There is a build issue.

$ ./utils/test-pkg -c defconfig -d test-pkg -p poke  -k -a

(*) ignore, uClibc-ng issue

For uClibc-ng toolchains I had to workaround a gnulib issue, I'll report it.

The number of architectures supported is mostly limited to due libatomic_ops [1]
dependency used by bdwgc package (Boehm-Demers-Weiser conservative garbage
collector) [2].

I had to enable riscv support for libatomic_ops to allow testing poke on riscv.

Let me know if there are some interesting tests to try with poke on Qemu.
