Thomas Petazzoni a22a21c76f rt-tests: mention that NPTL thread implementation is needed
This patch superseds http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/150161/, but
does it in a different way. Since we don't have a way of selecting the
thread implementation for external toolchains, and it sounds a bit too
heavy to add new config options just for the sake of rt-tests, we
instead simply add some help text to the rt-tests package explaining
that NPTL thread implementation is needed.

Set of utilities for testing the real-time behaviour of a
Linux system.
All tools are simple C programs with no dependencies, except
the hwlatdetect utility, which is a Python script and
therefore requires the Python interpreter. It will only be
installed if a Python interpreter has been selected in the
Buildroot configuration.
Note that this package requires a toolchain built with the
NPTL implementation of the pthread API (this is always the
case with glibc/eglibc toolchains, but may not necessarily
be the case with uClibc toolchains, since the thread
implementation is configurable).
