Perhaps you could just patch vlc in a similar way not to use the
offending AI_IDN flag?
Thanks for your time. My custom Buildroot repository already features
a similar VLC patch that fixes the issue. I just thought this was not
a proper fix and I should rather address the problem directly in
uClibc-ng, then push the patch to upstream uClibc-ng.
(To me this is a libc issue, not a VLC or inetutils issue.)
I agree. I underestimated the needed work to get IDN working.
I applied and pushed the patch, thx
