The thing is that I have been teaching new DNS lookup functions to
libuClibc which will be built depending on a new config variable
switch. The puropose for this is to make connman build in buildroot,
and I have it running here already. However, to prevent breakage, I
would like to depend on this new uClibc configuration directive, so
people can't select the new package unless they have a recent uClibc
with this new option selected. How would I do this?


Thanks,
