Description Matt Weber 2021-06-15 15:05:42 UTC

The header mismatch seems like a dependency Buildroot could check to prevent hidden time bugs where the kernel/glibc are all good(kernel 5.6+ and Glibc 2.32+), but someone uses old toolchain headers < 5.6 resulting in the application using a 32bit timespec at runtime.
