+From 948a96d710f377fb0ed8d78c7fb85b299c80ef13 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
+From: Gustavo Zacarias <gustavo@zacarias.com.ar>
+Date: Sat, 8 Nov 2014 10:12:54 -0300
+Subject: [PATCH] arptables: disable dlfcn.h include
+
+The relevant code is disabled in libarptc_incl.c so it's not required
+and breaks the ability to build it in a pure-static toolchain.
+
+Status: sent upstream.
