The sandbox is built with the SDL2 library with invokes the X11 library
which in turn calls getc(). But getc() in glibc is defined as

    int getc(FILE *)

This does not match our definition.

    int getc(void)

The sandbox crashes when called with parameter -l.

Rename our library symbol to be called _u_boot_getc(). To keep the coding
changes minimal use a define on the sandbox only.

Wolfgang, I was wondering could we not, given the few callers of 'getc'
carefully change our internal usage / name to 'getchar', which is more
POSIX-like and have our EXPORT_FUNC line be:
EXPORT_FUNC(getc, int, getchar, void)
and that might be the clean solution here?

I guess we could, indeed.

Probably.

I haven't tested this, though.
