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

Thomas, All,

On 2014-12-03 22:41 +0100, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> In preparation for the refactoring of the static/shared library
> support, we add a BR2_BINFMT_SUPPORTS_SHARED hidden option that binary
> formats supporting shared libraries should select.

While at it, I noticed that those depends are completely superfluous,
because FLAT can only be selected for bfin || m68k anyway, and the
choice itself already depends on FLAT, which itself depends on bfin ||
m68k.

So, this "depends on" (as well as the one in the previous option) could
be removed entirely, I guess.

But that's not related to your patch, so:
