Thomas, All,

On 2015-10-17 14:42 +0200, Thomas Petazzoni spake thusly:
> Musl doesn't implemented wmtp, and its utmp support is not sufficient

And I think the renaming by itself was still worth it. We today have a
situation where we can define the same macros twice, which is not "nice".

That two macros want to change the same options is not nice either, but
is much better.

Eventually, we should probably want to have soemthing like:

    BUSYBOX_NEEDS_INTERNAL_SHADOW = \
        $(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL),y) \
        $(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_SHADOW_PASSWORDS),,y)

    ifneq ($(BUSYBOX_NEEDS_INTERNAL_SHADOW),)
    define BUSYBOX_INTERNAL_SHADOW_PASSWORDS
        blabla enable config stuf...
    endef
    endif
