Package: perl
Version: 5.10.1-17squeeze3
Severity: minor

When sys/cdefs.ph is pulled in through a require (e.g., sys/ioctl.ph)
an abmiguous use of operator warning is produced:

Trivial reproduction:

$ perl -w -e "require 'sys/cdefs.ph';" 
Operator or semicolon missing before &__inline at (eval 103) line 1.
Ambiguous use of & resolved as operator & at (eval 103) line 1.

The following patch removes the specific warning seen, however, there
are likely other areas in this file that need similar treatment.
