Indeed as of today the only libc for ARC is uClibc.
We're working now on glibc port for ARC and once done will look
at musl.

Well frankly I haven't tried to build 15.05 so not really sure
if net-snmp will be built with uClibc. But I'll be surprised if it will.
Because from what I saw uClibc 0.9.33.2 used in 15.05 has no
differences in regard of sighold and friends. I think I'll try it.
Still IMHO observation that I made when building from current master is
pretty valid but let's see what gives 15.05 building.

Well I don't have a solid answer for this. As I said we're working on
glibc now and I think soon we'll be sending patches for upstream review
but it will take some time before our port gets accepted upstream.
In comparison ARC port of uClibc is now completely upstream in both
olde good uClibc and its new and shiny uClibc-ng fork. And that's exactly
what we want - use upstream projects but not a fork on our GitHub etc.

Essentially I may disable it but that's not a solution right?
