Correct, but we don't "require" this. Indeed, if nobody has ever had
the need for cmocka support in bind, it's fine for the moment to have
an unconditional --without-cmocka. This can be improved later by
someone needing this cmocka support.

Essentially all what I'm saying is that we don't require supporting all
possible optional dependencies/features: it's fine to have some of them
not supported in Buildroot, until someone really needs them.

Best regards,

Thomas
