The patch looks good, but it needs more testing. Because it lifts all
the architecture dependencies, one can now try to build Xenomai for
funky architectures/configurations, and it doesn't always work. For
example, building with our br-arm-cortex-m4-full configuration fails
with a pthread_atfork issue.

I think this requires running a test-pkg run to check a couple of
architectures/configurations.

Thanks!
