+Someone already tried to upstream a similar patch to gnome vte that
+would fix this but was rejected by maintainer. More info can be found
+on the link above.
+
+W_EXITCODE is missing in musl thus causing gnome-terminal build to fail.
+This patch checks if W_EXITCODE is not defined and then defines it.
