Applied to master, thanks!

I looked at the remaining patches:

 - 0001 I'm not sure to fully understand

 - 0002 and 0002 are just missing features in uClibc, I don't see why
   those patches can't be upstreamed. Waldemar, maybe you could help?

 - 0004 fixes an issue that also occurs with libtirpc, so it definitely
   should be upstreamable

Thanks,

Thomas
