Subject: fts in musl
The community wiki has an entry for why musl doesn't have fts.h:
http://wiki.musl-libc.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_why_is_fts.h_not_included_.3F
And it's right, fts certainly had LFS issues. However, the referenced
glibc 15838 was closed as a duplicate of 11460, and that bug was fixed
about a year ago by adding a proper fts64.
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11460
So it would be nice if musl would implement the same interface as fts64.
I discovered this issue from a user having trouble with elfutils on
openwrt/lede, which has patched out some fts-using functionality to get
elfutils building on musl. Of course it would be much nicer if they
didn't need that patch.
Thanks,
Josh Stone
