Many of the musl-specific header ordering restrictions could 
alternatively be resolved if there would be an #if defined(__MUSL__)
in the linux/libc-compat.h kernel header to reliably disable conflicting 
declarations in the kernel headers.

I wonder whether there is a better temporary solution by doing something
like that in OE instead of having workaround hacks in various packages
like NetworkManager.
