[Buildroot] [PATCH] strace: Disable for MIPS when using a uClibc toolchain

[Vicente Olivert Riera]

A change introduced in strace-4.9 makes it incompatible with MIPS
architecture when using a uClibc toolchain. This is the failure:

signal.c: In function 'printsiginfo':
signal.c:453:9: error: 'siginfo_t' has no member named 'si_timerid'
      sip->si_timerid, sip->si_overrun);
	 ^
signal.c:453:26: error: 'siginfo_t' has no member named 'si_overrun'
      sip->si_timerid, sip->si_overrun);

uClibc needs to be patched in order to fix this problem. In the meantime
we disable strace for MIPS when using a uClibc toolchain.

Fixes:

Can you sent a patch to uClibc mailing list fixing this issue?
System without strace is had to debug.
