==== Dependencies on target and toolchain options
Many packages depend on certain options of the toolchain: the choice of
-C library, C++ support, thread support, RPC support, IPv6 support,
-wchar support, or dynamic library support. Some packages can only be
-built on certain target architectures, or if an MMU is available in the
-processor.
+C library, C++ support, thread support, RPC support, wchar support,
+or dynamic library support. Some packages can only be built on certain
+target architectures, or if an MMU is available in the processor.
These dependencies have to be expressed with the appropriate 'depends
on' statements in the Config.in file. Additionally, for dependencies on

* Change the version of the GCC compiler, binutils and the C library.
* Select a number of toolchain options (uClibc only): whether the
- toolchain should have IPv6 support, RPC support (used mainly for
- NFS), wide-char support, locale support (for internationalization),

C++ support or thread support. Depending on which options you choose,
the number of userspace applications and libraries visible in
Buildroot menus will change: many applications and libraries require
external toolchain uses the 'glibc' library, you only have to tell
whether your toolchain supports C\++ or not and whether it has
built-in RPC support. If your external toolchain uses the 'uClibc'
- library, then you have to tell Buildroot if it supports IPv6,
