Thanks for this submission. Could you clarify what is the motivation
for this package? Indeed having a package manager on the target feels a
bit strange in the context of Buildroot. Buildroot is normally there
precisely to generate a ready-to-use rootfs, not a rootfs which then
downloads random stuff from the Internet.

Of course, we do have npm or pip, but really their usage is not
recommended.

Always a bit annoying to have architecture-specific things in something
that isn't hardware-related in the first place, but OK.

libarchive also needs wchar, spdlog as well (through fmt, admittedly)

These select should be sorted alphabetically to look a bit nicer.

This is really a bug in the mamba code, because these defines are
normally provided by the compiler. For example, an ARMv7 compiler
defines:

#define __ARM_ARCH 7
#define __ARM_ARCH_7A__ 1

So mamba could use that instead.

But one could even wonder why it really matters to define a different
MAMBA_PLATFORM name:

#ifdef ___ARM_ARCH_6__
        static const char MAMBA_PLATFORM[] = "linux-armv6l";
#elif __ARM_ARCH_7__
        static const char MAMBA_PLATFORM[] = "linux-armv7l";
#else

It is really crazy that this is the *only* thing that causes mamba to
have an architecture dependency. Why is that even needed in the first
place?

Please pass BUILD_STATIC=OFF and BUILD_SHARED=OFF explicitly in the
appropriate cases.

Thanks a lot!
