I think there are actually two problems: - Programs that include <linux/*.h> which in fine includes <asm/byteorder.h>. This is definitely a problem of the kernel headers. - Programs that FTBFS because they include <asm/byteorder.h>. They could be fixed by switching to <endian.h>, but I don't think it could be considered as an RC bug, as the kernel headers have to be fixed anyway. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-glibc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
