[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] libbsd: remove usage of __register_atfork

[Fabrice Fontaine]

The following error is raised by minizip:

[100%] Linking C executable minizip
/home/peko/autobuild/instance-0/output/host/m68k-buildroot-uclinux-uclibc/sysroot/usr/lib/libbsd.a(arc4random.o): In function `_rs_init.part.1':
arc4random.c:(.text+0xaa): undefined reference to `__register_atfork'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

As specified in openssl/Config.in, uClibc on noMMU doesn't provide
__register_atfork() so, as suggested by Arnout during review of minizip
patch (https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/978000), remove usage of this
function from libbsd to always use pthread_atfork

Fixes:

+Subject: [PATCH] Remove usage of __register_atfork
+
+Calling an internal function of glibc is never a good idea.
+This is especially true for __register_atfork which is not defined on
+uClibc with noMMU.
+So remove call to __register_atfork and so always use pthread_atfork

With this change, the build fails in the CI of libbsd:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/ffontaine/libbsd/-/jobs/26984:

../src/.libs/libbsd.so: undefined reference to `pthread_atfork'

I guess that's because pthread_atfork() requires linking against
libpthread ?

Also, pthread_atfork() does not have the dso_handle argument that
__register_atfork() has. Is this important in the context of libbsd ?
See
https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/commit/84b1a7ac383bf1db4c73b8f044170446deca8b2e
for example. I would assume no, because there was already a fallback on
pthread_atfork() in libbsd.

Also, Arnout said __register_atfork() is an internal function, but
it is documented in LSB:
http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.0.0/LSB-PDA/LSB-PDA/baselib--register-atfork.html.

OK, so I'll send a new patch to remove this change and add the
following dependency on libbsd and minizip:
# uClibc on noMMU doesn't provide __register_atfork()
depends on !(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC && !BR2_USE_MMU)

That's because the test should link with -pthread, maybe something not
too far fromm:

    overlay_LDADD = -pthread

(totally untested)

Works for me too, I guess, until upstream fixes their mess.
