Bug#962457: installation of finclude/math-vector-fortran.h

[Matthias Klose]

Package: src:glibc
Version: 2.30-8
Severity: important
Tags: sid bullseye

2.30-2 removed the installation of finclude/math-vector-fortran.h, which leads
to build errors like reported in https://launchpad.net/bugs/1879092

glibc (2.30-2) unstable; urgency=medium

  * debian/rules.d/build.mk: do not install 
for now as it is not multiarch safe.

It looks like the current x86 variant of this file is conditionalized and
installable on any architecture. So instead of dropping the file, just install
the x86 variant on every architecture.

can it cause libc update problems on systems that
have nsswitch.conf referencing those old nss libs?

maybe mention that configs may need to be updated?
