+Subject: [PATCH] log: Include fcntl.h for open() and O_* flags
+
+open(), O_CREAT and O_WRONLY are declared in <fcntl.h>, which glibc
+happens to pull in through other headers but musl does not, so the
+build fails with clang:
+
+  src/utils/log.c:33:14: error: call to undeclared function 'open'
+
+Upstream-Status: Pending
+AI-Generated: Uses Claude Code
+Signed-off-by: Khem Raj <khem.raj@oss.qualcomm.com>
