Hello Aitor,

I had some similar situations when I was working with uClibc as libc
implementation. In my case, I tried to provide patches that could be
accepted mainstream by the programs modified, and kept the patch in
the recipe until they were officcialy  integrated. I think that's a
good approach to adopt, and if the changes aren't that intrusive you
can probably put them in the standard recipe.

DietLibc probably defines some symbol such as __DIETLIBC__ on which
you can rely, so that your modifications are not used when compiling
against Glibc.
