+Dummy pthread_setaffinity_np() when not available
+
+On uClibc configurations that do not use the NPTL thread
+implementation, pthread_setaffinity_np() is not available. This patch
+defines a dummy (empty) implementation of this function for such
+cases.
+
+The only few architectures that do not provide the NPTL thread
+implementation are very likely to be non-SMP architectures, and
+therefore, setting the affinity of the thread is not doing anything
+useful, so having an empty stub for pthread_setaffinity_np() is not a
+problem.
