Ok, so let's do this maybe?

I think #2 is necessary, we already have some packages that use
syscalls that aren't provided by uClibc 0.9.31. But ok, it's just a
matter of adding another bunch of "depends on !BR2_avr32", it's not
fun, but it's not a big deal either.

As long as someone is interested in keeping AVR32 support in place, and
is willing to do some effort to keep this support in a reasonably good
shape in upstream Buildroot, I'm fine with keeping it.

Best regards,

Thomas
