+Subject: [PATCH] configure: check for execinfo.h
+
+Not all toolchains have execinfo.h. For example, support for it is
+optional in uClibc, while it is entirely missing from musl.
+
+Add a check in configure to look for it.
+
+Since execinfo.h is /only/ used to dump a backtrace in case of failure,
+just do nothing when execinfo.h is missing.
+

-[PATCH] fix build on uClibc without UCLIBC_HAS_BACKTRACE
-
-Backtrace support is only used for logging on signal errors, which
-isn't really critical, so simply remove backtrace info if not
-available in uClibc.
