[Buildroot] [PATCH v5] libiio: new package

[Paul Cercueil <paul.cercueil@analog.com>]

Dear Thomas,

Thanks for merging this patch - and thanks for the extra work.

I see you added a dependency on thread support in the toolchain, is it 
because it breaks some builds if not set?
The library in itself will work just fine on a system without threads, 
only the IIO Daemon requires threads, that's why I'm asking.

Regards,

Paul Cercueil
