libc/uClibc: fix building on system with recent glibc

While trying to build a toolchain with ct-ng 1.5.0,
arm-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi target,
I get the following error:

[INFO ] Installing C library headers
[EXTRA] Copying sources to build dir
[EXTRA] Applying configuration
[EXTRA] Building headers
[EXTRA] Installing headers
[ERROR] extra/scripts/unifdef.c:209: error: conflicting types for 'getline'
[ERROR] make[2]: *** [extra/scripts/unifdef] Error 1
[ERROR] Build failed in step 'Installing C library headers'

The following patch solves the problem.
(It's a backport of this uClibc commit:
http://git.uclibc.org/uClibc/commit/?id=49e81cada73616864b9b31df0aeb6961c30f5a6e
)

[--SNIP from another mail--]
AFAIK this is a problem since glibc 2.10.

     3 I tried to use crosstool-ng to generate a toolchain for Linux on big
     4 endian arm with recent versions of gcc, glibc, etc... but had a few
     5 problems.

     7 It appears that the gcc patch (for gcc 4.2.x)
     8 for big-endian arm (240-arm-bigendian.patch) lacks the change attached
     9 to this mail as 240-arm-bigendian2.patch.
