+Subject: [PATCH] sandbox: fix seccomp sandbox with musl libc
+
+musl uses readv and writev for stdio read and writes, so allow them like
+normal read and write.
+
+musl also checks whether stdout is a tty when writing to stdout, for
+that it uses ioctl with TIOCGWINSZ.

-The check-genfile target only works when run from inside a Git
-repository. Since we build ctags from a tagged tarball and not from the
-Git repository, invoking `git diff` fails with a usage error and causes
-`make check` to fail.
-
-This should be reported upstream.
