I don't yet understand those build failures. Indeed, locally, I'm able
to build the following defconfig, which has form/menu/panel disabled,
but sngrep builds fine:

BR2_arm=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_CUSTOM=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_DOWNLOAD=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_URL="http://autobuild.buildroot.org/toolchains/tarballs/br-arm-basic-2016.11-236-ge309abf.tar.bz2"
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_GCC_5=y
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HEADERS_4_8=y
# BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_HAS_THREADS_DEBUG is not set
BR2_INIT_NONE=y
BR2_SYSTEM_BIN_SH_NONE=y
# BR2_PACKAGE_BUSYBOX is not set
BR2_PACKAGE_SNGREP=y
# BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_TAR is not set

The options are only about installing the libraries to the target, they
are always installed to staging it seems. So while I agree they are
needed, I still don't understand the build failures reported by the
autobuilders.

Am I missing something?
