I think it is necessary tho. I mean you can use the alternatives, but they don't seem to make a complete solution. For debian this patch is fine, use some #ifdef statements for systems that don't support it. They can use the others. configure should be handling this even. likes if build= *-*-gnu, then have it put #define _GNU_SOURCE in config.h. Then surround the stuff I wrote with #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE etc. The alternatives are seteuid and setegid which can be there with an ifndef _GNU_SOURCE -- Dan Weber
