Pull a couple of patches from main which improve handling for asprintf on Linux platforms. asprintf is vended by the system libc for most platforms (including android) when _GNU_SOURCE is defined which we do set. Backporting this ensures that we do not accidentally break the build due to re-definition of the symbol.
These should be low risk for 5.7. The changes impact only Linux and Android platforms, preventing a duplicate definition of
asprintf.
