Hi,
it would be nice if uclinux targets are allowed to enable posix threads.
Together with uClibc-ng/uClibc you can build m68k-nommu toolchain and enable
old Linuxthreads instead of NPTL/TLS. With following change it is possible to
build
boost, which checks if gcc is build with threads enabled.
Tested with a simple boost application on qemu-system-m68k emulating a coldfire
board without MMU. Other noMMU targets as cortex-m3/cortex-m4 will benefit from
this change, too.
The patch is used in Buildroot for a while without causing issues.
