+Subject: [PATCH] Add support for uClibc
+
+The stable-1.1 branch of freerdp fails to build when using a uClibc
+toolchain because it's using functions which are not implemented in
+uClibc, like eventfd_read, eventfd_write and futimes. That is causing
+build failures like these ones:
+
+../../libwinpr/synch/libwinpr-synch.so.0.1.0: undefined reference to
+`eventfd_read'
+../../libwinpr/synch/libwinpr-synch.so.0.1.0: undefined reference to
+`eventfd_write'
+
+../../common/libfreerdp-client.so.1.1.0: undefined reference to
+`futimes'
+
+This patch is based on this upstream patch:
+
+  https://github.com/FreeRDP/FreeRDP/commit/5f9c36da5d5cd3c5dce49f7b32fe011cb293f9ec/
