I'm guessing that the functions are completely missing in their libc,
and that indeed the C code is converted into something else using
macros. Great way to save space by making libc smaller.

That also means the libc cannot be used with vanilla FFmpeg. I doubt
we want to include all kind of hacks for these kind of OSes.
Android/iOS work fine, it seems.
