Here is a patch that corrects this behaviour (sent as patch creating a
patch, so I can inline it here). I'll also send this upstream to uclibc
as soon as the bugtracker server is back from his weekend break.

But anyway, there needs to be a fix for buildroot as well, as I'd say
uclibc-0.9.30 ships in a broken state.

Comments on this?

Best regards,
Daniel
