Summary: build on uclibc fails due to missing ecvt()

Initial Comment:
When building on linux/uclibc (and after some minor patching) i finally got stuck with this message:
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
bsd_output_shared.c: In function 'dtoa':
bsd_output_shared.c:111: error: implicit declaration of function 'ecvt'

The problem seems to be that uclibc does not provide the ecvt(3) function which the lib/string seens to depend on for the dtoa() implementation.

Would be nice if configure script could check for ecvt() and provide one if the system does not.
