Rich Felker has asked me in private mail (please, please CC your replies
to 22086@debbugs.gnu.org) to clarify the authorship of that patch.
I actually stated in the commit message

    Except for build system fixes this is essentially the same as

    
http://git.alpinelinux.org/cgit/aports/tree/testing/emacs/musl.patch?id=d6f211ec868df4657c745b8ba2bae77b2a7fb7f6

So, I wrote the build system fixes, and, strictly speaking, only the two
lines in src/unexelf.c which declare and initialize bss_sbrk_did_unexec
are directly from the original "Alpine Linux" patch above.

I can split the patch accordingly and ascribe only the latter part to
Rich Felker if this is preferred.  The original patch still helped me to
quickly find where I had to change something; this is why a attributed
the whole patch to Rich Felker as it is just an expansion, as it were,
of his version.
