[Buildroot] [BUG] eglibc and Kodi Krypton

[Stanislav Vlasic]

Hi,

Kodi Krypton causes random crashes when using eglibc (2.18 or 2.19, 
doesnt matter - from 2016.05).

GDB output:
(gdb) kodi.bin: pthread_mutex_lock.c:347: __pthread_mutex_lock_full: 
Assertion `(-(e)) != 35 || (kind != PTHREAD_MUTEX_ERRORCHECK_NP && kind 
!= PTHREAD_MUTEX_RECURSIVE_NP)' failed.

I rebuilt with glibc 2.23 which fixed issue. Platform is aarch64, custom 
3.14 kernel (Amlogic), not sure if same happens with armel and armhf 
(did not test it).

Regards,
Stane1983

We no longer support eglibc in Buildroot, and therefore only support
glibc 2.22 and 2.23 in the upcoming 2016.08 release, and 2.22/2.23/2.24
in the next 2016.11 release.

Thank you for confirmation/information. I was not following what was 
going on with upcoming 2016.08 release. Was just a bug I ran into and 
shared my fix :)
