should we make THUMB_INTERWORK a distro feature ? currently its an independent
variable. This should be set in consent with chosen machine so if a machine
does not support interworking then distro should remove it from a possible
set of distro features. Then uclibc can rely on this distro feature to turn
bx support on|off.
