commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=961f13eedf461499c7fbb9c1c2bdff9f8b01d079
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

Since commit 006a328ad6bed214ec3c4d92120510ea37329dd1 ("util-linux: fix
build with ncurses"), we have a build failure that occurs with musl and
uClibc-ng toolchains when wide-char support is not enabled in ncurses.

The problem occurs because util-linux #defines its own wchar_t (as char)
when configured without widechar support. It was fixed upstream, so pull
the corresponding patch from the util-linux git repository.

+Subject: [PATCH] build-sys: fix compilation with ncurses and uClibc or musl
+ libc
+
+Compiling util-linux with musl and uClibc-ng toolchains when wide-char
+support is not enabled in ncurses results in compilation failures with
+the following message:
+
+    error: two or more data types in declaration specifiers
+    #define
+     wchar_t char
+
+The problem occurs because util-linux #defines its own wchar_t (as char)
+when configured without widechar support. This conflicts with definition
+of wchar_t contained in stddef.h.
+
+This error can be reproduced running "<toolchain-cc -o test test.c" with
+the following test program:
+
+    #include <ctype.h>
+    #define wchar_t char
+    #include <stddef.h>
+
+    int main()
+    {
+        return 0;
+    }
+
+The only way to avoid the problem it to reorder the inclusion of headers
+in some files under the text-utils directory.
