In addition to the comment from Jerzy, here is another comment (see
below).

This patch should have a description + Signed-off-by.

Also it should explain why you are patching Makefile.in and not
Makefile.am. We normally prefer patching Makefile.am and use
<pkg>_AUTORECONF = YES.

Of course, if the upstream project is active, you can submit a patch
adding a --disable-manpages option.

You're missing a Config.in comment here about the threads dependency:

comment "dc3dd needs a glibc or uClibc toolchain w/ threads"
	depends on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS || \
		BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL

Could you fix those issues, and the ones reported by Jerzy, and submit
an updated version?

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
