Yann E. MORIN 76051e6531 package/bcc: add missing dependencies to comment
Since its inception in 146498d13c (package/bcc: new package), not all
the dependencies of bcc are mirrored in the comment to be displayed when
those dependencies are not met.

Fix that by adding the missing pieces:
  - wchar,
  - threads
  - dynamic libs,

Jugurtha BELKALEM 146498d13c package/bcc: new package
bcc is a front-end tool for eBPF:
https://github.com/iovisor/bcc/blob/master/README.md
eBPF is the most powerful Linux tracer, and bcc allows writing eBPF
scripts in C and PYTHON3.

bcc can help to troubleshoot issues quickly on embedded systems (as long
as Linux kernel version >= 4.1).

bcc can also make it easy to create observabilty tools, SDN
configuration, ddos mitigation, intrusion detection and secure
containers. More information is available at: https://ebpf.io/

BCC can be tested on the target :
$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug
$ cd /usr/share/bcc/tools
$ ./execsnoop
