Indeed, Buildroot considers glibc toolchains have threads.

Just for this commit, I would not care we remove the threads dependency,
since it is implicit with glibc.

However, as I said, libbsd is an Nth-level dependency of QEMU, which I
am still p[lanning on submitting. Having static qemu-user programs is
very usefull to run foreign chroots, and is only possible with uClibc,
so I will have to fix that issue at some point in time. And keeping the
threads dependency will just be a warning to me at that point.

But for now, do as you prefer. It should be pretty easy to pinpoint
build failures at that time. ;-)

Do you want me to respin?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
