I am sorry, but this is again not up to the level of quality that I
would expect from an experienced contributor like you.

 (1) It fails to build with uClibc, first because it includes
     <execinfo.h> when __GLIBC__ is defined. I've fixed that.

 (2) It still fails to build with uClibc, because a workaround for a
     glibc 2.2.3 bug gets enabled with uClibc and doesn't build. I've
     fixed that.

 (3) You make util-linux, pcre, jansson and libxml2 mandatory
     dependencies, but they are not. You can customize
     buildconf/base.ini to disable these. I was able to do a uwsgi
     build with none of those dependencies enabled.

 (4) I've done a build with python-setuptools on the target, and uwsgi
     works just fine.

So this clearly needs to be reworked. Could you have another look at
this package, and make an improved submission ?

Thanks!

Thomas
