Overall looks good. Two comments below, though.

Can we make this upstreamable by enclosing this in an AC_CACHE_VAL or
AC_CACHE_CHECK check? This will allow to override this with an autoconf
cache variable, and avoid the AC_RUN_IFELSE test. It seems like all of
glibc, uclibc-ng and musl support getcwd(NULL, 0).

Normally written as:

	depends on BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP
	depends on BR2_USE_WCHAR

	depends on !BR2_INSTALL_LIBSTDCPP || \
		!BR2_USE_WCHAR

openssl is a runtime dependency only ?
