Revert "libseccomp: don't build on ARC"
This reverts commit
b29e609701987072fbd991a9ffc203103f99b943.
Adding DEPENDS+=@!arc will cause a circular dependency, because some
packages select libseccomp based on a build option.
Commit
e29483d7e ("libseccomp: workaround a recursive dependency") added
a workaround that was not properly documented, so I'll explain here.
The problem arises when libseccomp is selected depending on some config
option:
define Pakcage/foo
DEPENDS=+FOO_SECCOMP:libseccomp
Even if the condition is correctly defined, excluding arc, such as:
define Package/foo/config
config FOO_SECCOMP
depends on !arc
the config generator will parse libseccomp's DEPENDS variable and
generate menuconfig statements like these:
config PACKAGE_foo
select PACKAGE_libseccomp if FOO_SECCOMP
depends on !FOO_SECCOMP || !arc
The last condition is always true because FOO_SECCOMP will always be
be false when arc is true. The config generator is not able to
simplify/optimize the condition.
The circular dependecy occurs because FOO_SECCOMP depends on
PACKAGE_foo, and the redundant, always true line will make PACKAGE_foo
depend on FOO_SECCOMP.
As a workaround, we can add the 'depends on !arc' line to
Package/libseccomp/config, outside of the DEPENDS variable, so that the
redundant depends line line does not get generated.
