Romain Naour a903cce65c support/testing: TestZfsUclibc: use internal backend for uClibc-ng toolchain
As reported on the mailing list [1] while investigating the
TestZfsUclibc Gitlab-CI failure, the python 3.13 interpreter itsef
segfault at runtime:

  Fatal Python error: _PyThreadState_Attach: non-NULL old thread state
  Python runtime state: preinitialized
  Thread 0xSegmentation fault

This issue is related to the python 3.13 version bump [2] were several
internal changes were added [3] to support PEP 703 [4].
PEP 793 is about CPython’s global interpreter lock (“GIL”) removal
for multi-threads support that requires a working C11 "thread_local"
for thread-local storage [5].

The new uclibc-ng 1.0.55 release contains a fix for this issue [6].
This version is included in Buildroot commit [7].

Since the prebuilt Bootling aarch64 uclibc stable 2025.08-1 is based
on previous uClibc-ng release (1.0.54) we have to use the internal
toolchain backend to build a new uClibc-ng toolchain using uclibc-ng
1.0.55. Note: the toolchain config defined in this commit reflects
the options enabled in the Bootling aarch64 uclibc external
toolchains.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded
Linux systems through cross-compilation.

The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text
document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text.
Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html

To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following:

1) run 'make menuconfig'
2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile
3) run 'make'
4) wait while it compiles
5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images

You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot.  Have fun!

Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run
'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations.

Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the
buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org
You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
