[Buildroot] [PATCH] glibc: needs kernel headers >= 4.5 on mips(64)

[Yann E. MORIN <yann.morin.1998@free.fr>]

Romain, All,

On 2017-08-20 16:41 +0200, Romain Naour spake thusly:

After the discussion in this thread and on IRC, I've marked this patch
as "Changes Requested".

Now I just have to polish my own series that has a fix for that issue...

Thanks! ;-)
