[Buildroot] uClibc-ng 1.0.6 update

[Alexey Brodkin]

Hi Waldemar,

I noticed that you recently cut release of 1.0.6 uclibc-ng.

I'm wondering if you plan to submit a patch to Buildroot with bumping
of uClibc version?

I may do it myself but just to escape duplicates IMHO would
be good to check with you.

Ok I think I'll do that this week.

Yeah I already noticed a proper fix... after I spent nearly 2 days trying to debug
failing dynamic linker (that's with your initial fix).

So now with new fix I may confirm that uclibc not only gets built but also
could be executed on target properly.

As for switching ARC to uClibc-ng I'm not sure this is the best idea
now when we're already on Buidlroot 2015.08-rc1. So probably I'll do that
right after final release of 2015.08 happens.

It is indeed way too late to do such a change in Buildroot. It can be
done once 2015.08 is released. However, feel free to send the patches
before 2015.08 is released.

Best regards,

Thomas

Yeah, sorry. Had a three days business trip and didn't had the time
to fix it directly. Normally I do runtime tests before pushing any
change. I promise I will do it always in the future :)

Yeah, sure. I don't meant that 1.0.6 should be included in 2015.08.
But there is -next for new stuff.
