I hereby commit a sin. features.h is now going to _lie_

and claim that this is GNU libc.  Too many pieces of code
look for GNU libc version numbers.  So uClibc is now going
to lie and claim it is GNU libc.  This makes, for example,
networking apps work much better since /usr/include/linux/socket.h
does the wrong thing otherwise.  There are lots of other examples.
