From 2ddc5808cd19f577917566ad83e2a3835d6d43b9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julien Olivain Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2025 22:24:14 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Config.in: introduce the BR2_BROKEN hidden symbol Commit [1] "toolchain/toolchain-external/toolchain-external-synopsys-arc: mark as broken" disabled BR2_TOOLCHAIN_EXTERNAL_SYNOPSYS_ARC by adding a depends on BR2_BROKEN. This symbol does not exist and generates check-symbol failures, see [2]. This commit fixes this issue by introducing the BR2_BROKEN hidden symbol that will be used to track those known to be broken features. This symbol will help to track features that were broken for too long and remove them.
