Hi Gnulib developers,
I tried to update coreutils from 9.4 to 9.5, but it does not compile.
It fails with:
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 reason for that is uClibc-ng provides the struct mbstate_t, but
without __count member. uClibc-ng still mimics GNU C Library in a
lot of situations and so have __GLIBC__ set.
Would be following trivial patch acceptable, which fixes the issue for me?
diff --git a/lib/mcel.h b/lib/mcel.h

Thanks in advance for any answer.
