When compiling coreutils with uClibc-ng, build is failing with error:
In file included from lib/mcel.c:3:
lib/mcel.h: In function 'mcel_scan':
lib/mcel.h:226:21: error: 'mbstate_t' has no member named '__count'
226 | mbstate_t mbs; mbs.__count = 0;
| ^
The problem was reported by Waldemar Brodkorb in:
https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-gnulib/2024-08/msg00130.html
This commit adds a package patch that modifies mcel_scan to avoid
treating uClibc-ng as if it were glibc, resolving compatibility
issues.
Specifically, uClibc-ng was incorrectly treated like glibc in the code,
which led to incorrect assumptions about the mbstate_t initialization.
