[PATCH] speakup: remove usage of non-standard u_char
Posted by Yureka 3 years, 5 months ago
From: Yureka Lilian <yuka@yuka.dev>

This code is included in the build tools makemapdata and genmap, and it
expects that libc exposes a definition of u_char. But u_char is not
defined in either C or POSIX standards, and some systems don't have it.
Namely this breaks the build on hosts using musl libc, because musl only
exposes u_char if _GNU_SOURCE is defined.

This patch is corrupted and can not be applied.  Please fix up and add
