e2fsprogs build log

So, I was doing the initial setup for an ~amd64 hardened musl, but in the initial @world update, e2fsprogs failed to compile due to a preprocessor error relating to a glibc-specific macro. Build log from /var is attached

[Comment 1 Samuel Hodgkins 2018-08-29 01:26:20 UTC]

Shortly after filing this bug I looked at another distribution that uses Alpine to see if they had a patch for it. Found one at https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/master/main/e2fsprogs/gnuc-prereq.patch which also covers the same problem in another file not shown in the attached log.

[Comment 2 Philipp Ammann 2018-08-31 11:05:44 UTC]

I can confirm the issue and that the patch from Alpine fixes it.
