[Buildroot] [PATCH v2, 1/2] Revert "package/log4cxx: select boost chrono and date-time with gcc < 7"

[Fabrice Fontaine]

This reverts commit 3c2245cb65741c965f4bb87d35ac3c64f250a1ae to move
these selects on boost side as the build failure was raised with gcc >=
7 (making this commit a "no-op"). Indeed, the build failure is raised
with cmake < 3.21.3, because cmake assumed that boost thread depends on
date-time until

[Buildroot] [PATCH v2,2/2] package/boost: threads needs date-time

[Fabrice Fontaine]

Fix the following build failure with gcc >= 7 raised since commit
4e267a7d3d5d350710a81ada188a1629348e4b4a because until cmake 3.21.3 and
https://github.com/Kitware/CMake/commit/1ad0c5ae53fc0c4f774166337f0e9c93c578cf9b,
cmake assumed that boost threads depends on boost date-time. As, we
can't patch all cmake in the field, just select boost date-time.

So just to work-around a CMake < 3.21.3 bug, we force this select in
Boost? This doesn't feel like a very good solution :-/

Even in Buildroot, we're still using CMake 3.16.9.

  So what we could do instead is to bump CMake to 3.22, and set our mininum 
CMake version to 3.21.3. This is going to hurt the build time for some people, 
but I guess it's better than forcing boost date-time?

  On the other hand, boost date-time probably has a very small additional size 
cost compared to the rest of boost, so this patch is probably a better ad hoc 
solution. I'd just add a comment in the Config.in file to explain that this is 
just a workaround, with a longer explanation in the commit message.

Fair enough, that works for me. We need to remember to drop that
workaround at some point in the future, when we require at least CMake
3.21.3.

I don't understand why you say this commit is a no-op. It clearly
isn't. In gcc < 7.x configurations, this commit ensures that boost
chrono and boost date-time are selected.

The fact that you realize later that the build failure occurred with
gcc >= 7.x, meaning this commit does not help fixing the issue does not
make this commit a no-op.

Do you have some feedback/comment on the above questions?

Thanks!

Indeed, this is not a no-op so I suggest to only apply the second
patch of the serie.
