I am afraid that Tesseract will be very slow on 32 bit ARM and uClibc with this patch. Please try to find a solution which allows NEON detection with uClibc.

Ideally uClibc should be fixed to support the missing functionality instead of compiling Tesseract code with restricted functions (this also applies to pull request #3716).

Unfortunately, uclibc-ng won't be patched any time soon. The project is not very active and dedicated to embedded systems. If you think that this PR doesn't make sense, an other option is to disable tesseract with uclibc on buildroot side.

@egorpugin, please don't merge this PR.

Would it be acceptable to merge this PR?

It seems that the conclusion of #3716 is that function checks are better than #ifdef blocks.

I see no use for ARM support without NEON because that would result in a very slow Tesseract. Therefore I prefer disabling the Tesseract build for such platforms on the buildroot side as you suggested above.

package/tesseract-ocr: override neon check
789e84b 
Override neon check to avoid the following build failure with uclibc-ng
raised since bump to version 5.0.1 in commit
df3f0c2:

src/arch/simddetect.cpp:61:14: fatal error: sys/auxv.h: No such file or directory
   61 | #    include <sys/auxv.h>
      |              ^~~~~~~~~~~~

It should be noted that a patch to properly fix this build failure was
rejected by upstream as "ARM support without NEON would result in a very
slow Tesseract": tesseract-ocr/tesseract#3717

So, a follow-up patch adding a dependency on !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_UCLIBC
for all CPU architectures or only for ARM without NEON could be
approriate.
