+From 6cc1c22cc30320f56da552a76bd956db8f255b6a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH 07/11] Use configure to test for feature instead of platform
+
+Test for various functions instead of trying to keep track of what
+platform and what version of the given platform has support for what.
+
+This should make it easier to port to currently unknown platforms and
+will solve the issue if a platform add support for a missing feature in
+the future.
+
+The features we test for are:
+- getifaddrs
+- getauxval
+- issetugid
+- __secure_getenv
+
+This is needed for musl libc.
