Neither of this is going to happen, I believe. TEMP_FAILURE_RETRY is a
glibc-ism, and the musl developers are generally not really interested
in adding glibc-isms.

Patching the buildroot musl toolchain is also not acceptable, as it
means we would no longer support musl external toolchains that don't
carry our patches.

But that's still the only reasonable solution. The idea being that
those patches should be contributed to the upstream acpid project, so
that we can drop them from Buildroot the next time acpid makes an
official release.
