The code from libc-compat.h depends on some glibc specific defines and

of the glibc dependencies. With these patches the LEDE (OpenWrt) base
user space applications can be build with unmodified kernel headers and
musl libc.

This was compile tested with the user space from LEDE (OpenWrt) with
musl 1.1.16, glibc 2.25 and uClibc-ng 1.0.22.

Did I send this to the correct maintainer? I am unsure through which
maintainer this should go. I saw that some patches for the libc-compat.h
file went trough David Miller, so I tried the same.
