It _does_ build fine... at least with reasonably modern uClibcs.
What version are you using? Is perl compiling with -D_GNU_SOURCE?
If not, then YESTR and NOSTR will _not_ be defined as they were
deprecated in susv3 and removed in susv3.

Yes... That's the patch I posted to the list about a year and a half
ago. Not long after, I fixed the YESSTR/NOSTR problem for the stub
locale case. While the -lpthread stuff is still relevant to get
around a shared linker problem, the YESSTR/NOSTR part has not been
needed in ages.

No... This is a bug with glib. Even the page where you found the
patch states as much.
