New Revision: 21

Modified:
   buildrom-devel/bin/mklibs.py
Log:

This is a workaround for a bug in the mklibs.py script.

Jordan clarified: "It seems that there is some sort of obfustication going on
in the ctype.h header file that somehow filters down to pain in uclibc/busybox.
This workaround is as good as any - if anything, it costs us a few bytes in an
extra possibly not needed function, but that's not so bad."
