+From b9565dc2fe0c4f7daaec91b7e83bc7313dee2f4a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] Unset need_charset_alias when building for musl
+
+localcharset uses ac_cv_gnu_library_2_1 from glibc21.m4
+which actually shoudl be fixed in gnulib and then all downstream
+projects will get it eventually. For now we apply the fix to
+coreutils
