+Subject: [PATCH] Don't blindly enable frexpl and ldexpl for uClibc
+
+When the size of double and long double are equal, numpy blindly
+assumes that frexpl and ldexpl will be available as well. But for
+uClibc, that's not true: it only defines the long double functions
+when long double "exists" on the architecture.
+
+So make an exception for uClibc.
