Description tt_1 2016-02-08 20:39:23 UTC

I ran into this problem recently. Uclibc does not have spawn.h anywhere but in the live ebuild, so maybe someone could add the two patches into the patches tarball? Well, if they are appropriate.

Not really sure about this one, just take it into consideration if you find it usefull. I found them on the uclibc mailing list if I remember correctly.

These patches actually appear to be on the uClibc side, not the VLC side.  This ticket should probably be assigned to those maintainers.  

I'm happy to also research a fix on the VLC side.

Is this still a thing @hardened?

Is not a hardened thing is uclibc thing
