It IS a bug. Some programs (i.e. MPlayer) used (and use) them to in compilation. This worked with previous versions of libc, but doesn't work now. If this is a 'feature', then what do you recommed? Duplicate info from this headers and include it in program's sources? IIUC - that's why such headers exists in libc6-dev package - to let programs to use them, isn't it? -- With best wishes Dmitry Baryshkov -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
