+Subject: [PATCH] include/common.h: fix build against current uClibc
+
+Commit dbe0fd17f2 (mtd-utils: new prompt() helper for talking to the user)
+introduced a rpmatch() call. However, uClibc versions older than (not yet
+released) 0.9.34 don't have rpmatch() implementation. Add one.
+
+Patch status: sent upstream, http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/338748/
