+Subject: [PATCH] cmake: improve include paths
+
+Adding the dbus-cxx subfolders as an include path might override system
+headers (signal.h for gcc 10).
+By removing the subfolders, includes can happen via #include "..." or
+via #include <dbus-cxx/...>.

+Subject: [PATCH] use uid_t instead of __uid_t
+
+uclibc and glibc define getuid() as
+extern __uid_t getuid (void) __THROW;
+https://elixir.bootlin.com/glibc/glibc-2.34/source/posix/unistd.h#L698
+which is a typedef for unsigned int.
+
+musl uses uid_t as return type
+uid_t getuid(void);
+https://elixir.bootlin.com/musl/v1.2.2/source/include/unistd.h#L108
+which is a typedef to unsigned.
+
+glibc and uclibc include typedefs from __uid_t to uid_t,
+which means one should be able to use uid_t as a replacement
+for __uid_t and make compiling with all three c standard libraries
+possible.
