[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] musl: add a sys/queue.h implementation

[Sergio Prado]

Hi Thomas,

Via "git log" and "git grep" I identified two packages that have changes
because of queue.h: fastd and libtirpc.

Fastd is using a patch that removes the need of queue.h, and that patch is
already upstream. So I think we do not need to change that.

Libtirpc is using a patch to add a local sys/queue.h implementation. I will
prepare a patch for this one.

Best regards,
