We got rid of the BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION option back on the 27/7, as the
dependencies got quite messy and it only adds ~100 bytes to uClibc, so
check your uclibc .config.

We already pass --disable-nls unless you have locales enabled, so
perhaps it needs similar handling as libglib2 for uClibc (select
LIBINTIL if BR2_NEEDS_GETTEXT). Thomas also mentioned something about
that, but I haven't done a locale build lately to test. Will do so now.
