When you "select" an option, you must replicate the "depends on" of
that option into the selecting option. In this case, python-numpy has
the following depends on:

        # Numpy has some CPU specific code
        depends on BR2_aarch64 || BR2_arm || BR2_armeb || BR2_i386 \
                || BR2_mips || BR2_mipsel || BR2_powerpc || BR2_powerpc64 \
                || BR2_sh || BR2_x86_64

So you should replicate that into gnuradio/Config.in. However, since
this is horrible, here is what we do in such cases:

 * Introduce a hidden BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_NUMPY_ARCH_SUPPORTS that
   encodes this dependency.

 * And then use this option in python-numpy/Config.in and
   gnuradio/Config.in.

You can grep for ARCH_SUPPORTS in Buildroot to see other examples.

Thanks!
