Btw FreeBSD has the same problem (no *scanf %a in libc), so you
could try taking the FreeBSD patches and replacing
#ifdef __FreeBSD__
by
#if defined(__FreeBSD__) || defined(__UCLIBC__)
in those parts handling %a here:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr/files/patch-vdr-1.7.28_FreeBSD?revision=300896&view=markup
A few plugins are affected too: (of those we have in FreeBSD ports)
eepg:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr-plugin-eepg/files/patch-eepg.c?revision=300896&view=markup
infosatepg:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr-plugin-infosatepg/files/patch-process.cpp?view=markup
ttxtsubs:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr-plugin-ttxtsubs/files/patch-ttxtsubschannelsettings.c?revision=300896&view=markup
HTH, :)

PS: I think I never sent the FreeBSD patches to Klaus the last few
times I updated them, atm FreeBSD ports is behind again (still at
vdr 1.7.29), when I get around catching up to the latest version I
can send the updated patches if you are interested, Klaus? A few
more 1.7.29 patches are in here:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/multimedia/vdr/files/
(I think I did send FreeBSD patches to those plugin maintainers
that may still be active some time ago, haven't heard back from
many tho.)
