Stephane Chazelas discovered a bug in the environment handling in Perl.
Perl provides a Perl-space hash variable, %ENV, in which environment
variables can be looked up. If a variable appears twice in envp, only
the last value would appear in %ENV, but getenv would return the first.
Perl's taint security mechanism would be applied to the value in %ENV,
but not to the other rest of the environment. This could result in an
ambiguous environment causing environment variables to be propagated to
subprocesses, despite the protections supposedly offered by taint
checking.
With this update Perl changes the behavior to match the following:
a) %ENV is populated with the first environment variable, as getenv
would return.
b) Duplicate environment entries are removed.

Beginning in PathTools 3.47 and/or perl 5.20.0, the File::Spec::canonpath()
routine returned untained strings even if passed tainted input. This defect
undermines the guarantee of taint propagation, which is sometimes used to
ensure that unvalidated user input does not reach sensitive code.
This defect was found and reported by David Golden of MongoDB, and a patch
was provided by Tony Cook.

Apparently, recompiling/relinking fails under some circumstances. This
patch has been reported to work around that issue.

This will make microperl unable to build. That's okay, since we haven't
been building it for quite a while now.

This test requires a ps which provides the -f option, as well as suitable output.
We can't provide either with busybox. Just skip it for now.

- Add patch to inhibit the libm IEEE math switch on musl
- Add postprocessing for config.sh to the Makefile to fixup
defines for musl, idea taken
from http://patchwork.openembedded.org/patch/91707/
This is the least invasive approach I could come up to fix the build
failure asap. Another possibility is maintaining yet another set of
musl specific architecture config files, but I think that this introduces
a lot of maintenance overhead.
