At least efivar can be built in uClibc environment. I have a patch: https://github.com/andy-shev/efivar/commit/2255601757a8a58baddad2d37d0bcc6b003a3732

Nice. This patch can help me!

P.S. Gentoo with uClibc

I guess it's reasonable to ship this patch in the distro packaging if your distro supports using uClibc. From an upstream perspective, uClibc really needs to be providing modern C headers. Changing every program to hack around a toolchain that's incomplete simply isn't a sustainable plan.

TWIMC, from February 2017 uClibc-NG has that header. uClibc on the other hand seems abandoned.
