compressed build.log

Just compiled a few packages and ran into a build failure with libinput, when uclibc is the libc of the system.

it starts with

/libinput-1.11.0/src/libinput-util.h:523:2: error: unknown type name 'locale_t' 


the libinput people stated that this is a problem with newlocale somehow. 

If this is nothing worth to fix, or if this is difficult and no one is able to fix this (I certainly can't), it would be a good idea to mask the libinput use flag - qtcore pulls it in by default for instance. 

compressed build.log is attached
