            Bug ID: 21604
           Summary: glibc fails to build with a gcc/musl toolchain
           Product: glibc
           Version: 2.25
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: libc
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

  Target Milestone: ---

I get a build failure in the sunrpc/ subdirectory when building GLIBC on Alpine
Linux 3.6.1.

The toolchain has a target of `x86_64-alpine-linux-musl` so it's perhaps not
officially supported by GLIBC. However this issue is the only thing that
prevents GLIBC 2.25 from compiling in that environment so it would be
worthwhile to fix it.

musl libc defines certain types in its sys/types.h when _GNU_SOURCE or
_BSD_SOURCE is set, such as `u_char`, `u_short`, and `caddr_t`.

See: http://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/include/sys/types.h#n59

These are redefined inside GLIBC in `sunrpc/rpc/types.h`, causing 'conflicting
types' issues.

If GLIBC could detect the existance of these symbols at configure-time in the
host libc it could then #ifdef away the redefinitions appropriately.

This is the full error output:

    gcc   -D_RPC_THREAD_SAFE_ -D_GNU_SOURCE -DIS_IN_build -include
