#1280892 — [PATCH v3] uselib: default depending if libc5 was used

FromRiku Voipio <riku.voipio@linaro.org>

Subject[PATCH v3] uselib: default depending if libc5 was used
Message-ID<qATN0-2eD-5@gated-at.bofh.it>
uselib hasn't been used since libc5; glibc does not use it.
Deprecate uselib a bit more, by making the default y only
if libc5 was widely used on the plaform.

This makes arm64 kernel built with defconfig slightly smaller

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
