Bug#381666: libselinux: FTBFS on powerpc (refers to PAGE_SIZE not supplied by ppc kernel-headers)

Package: libselinux Severity: serious Justification: no longer builds from source This may be the fault of linux-kernel-headers more than libselinux, but as of linux-kernel-headers 2.6.17-6-1, I can't build libselinux due to undefined symbol errors concerning the use of PAGE_SIZE in a number of p
