I think we should add some of the more detailed description from your
commit text here.

Looking at the upstream Makefile I see that it links with -lpthread, so
you need to make the package depend on BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS (and
show a comment if not).

I see it also creates a 1MB fat filesystem image using mkfs.vfat. It is
not clear to me what that is for, but if it is needed then the package
should select BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_DOSFSTOOLS.

I'm not really sure installing linuxrc makes any sense. Perhaps we
should just install an init script to run it at startup?
