 +**Note:** Patch required to fix y0, y1, j0 and j1 related build issue on uClibc \\
 +Our default uClibc configuration does not have DO_XSI_MATH=y, so it lacks certain math functions. jq generates some wrappers for the libm functions, even for functions that are not actually used by jq. By simply removing those wrappers, we get jq to build on uClibc that have DO_XSI_MATH disabled.
