+Subject: [PATCH] misc: Use autofs_strerror_r() with non-glibc C libraries
+
+The open/close on exec functions moved to lib/misc.c expect the GNU
+strerror_r() that returns a char pointer. Unlike the rest of autofs,
+misc.c does not include automount.h, which maps strerror_r() to
+autofs_strerror_r() when not building with glibc, so the build fails with
+musl:
+
+  misc.c:96:8: error: incompatible integer to pointer conversion assigning to 'char *' from 'int' [-Wint-conversion]
+
+Do the same mapping in misc.c.
+
+Upstream-Status: Submitted [https://lore.kernel.org/autofs/20261113043743.2721837-1-raj.khem@gmail.com/]
