Bug #720: [patch] autoconf changes needed for uClibc stdio
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/show/720

Author: Brian Candler
Status: Open, Priority: Normal

[Migrated from http://rubyforge.org/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=15677&group_id=426&atid=1698]

ruby doesn't work properly under uClibc without a patch. This is because uClibc uses __bufpos and __bufread (rather
than bufpos and bufread), which configure.in isn't currently detecting. The most immediate symptom is that an exception
is raised if you try to read from a UDP socket:

root@OpenWrt:~# irb
irb(main):001:0> require 'socket'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> s = UDPSocket.new
=> #<UDPSocket:0x444000>
irb(main):003:0> s.bind("0.0.0.0",1234)
=> 0
irb(main):004:0> d = s.recvfrom(512)
IOError: recv for buffered IO
        from (irb):4:in `recvfrom'
        from (irb):4
irb(main):005:0>

[Tested using OpenWrt, an embedded Linux distro which uses uClibc]

The simple fix is attached.
