You will need atleast uClibc 0.9.33. Connman was added before 0.9.33 was
released, so at that time you needed a snapshot version of uClibc. I've
recently updated this check in the next branch (and moved to connman
1.0) so you can actually select it with uClibc 0.9.33 / ctng toolchains:

Either cherrypick this commit, use the next branch or wait until I merge
next into the main branch in ~1 weeks time (E.G. right after I release
2012.05).
