Patchset:

PS1: I built this change on Centos8, Debian9 and debian unstable, and subsequently I was still able to build osmocom applications via autoconf/pkg-config without any regression.

That doesn't mean it might not cause buildfailures somewhere, but fundamentally this is the right kind of change to do.

I am hoping this will also resolve some build failures I'm seeing on OpenWRT with current osmo* master.
