Will you resend an updated patch series, then? Or do you want me to just
fix it in place while I'm applying your patch?

Note that I am currently runing the test with just this BR2_cortex_a7=y
change, so I can fix it locally if you're okay.

Ececpt in this case, systemd is a glibc-only package to befing with, so
we can't test uClibc or musl anyway.
