Package: libc6
Version: 2.40-2
Severity: minor
I have an executable that I compiled for i386 in (probably) 1998,
which I have been running in a faily cron job until now. Today it
failed to open a file, and strace showed that the filename was
partially corrupted.
Since the executable predates the
oblem for getting security updates out promptly.

has defined MS_RDONLY as a macro since before version 1.0,
so this is a wontfix on the kernel side. was already
defining MS_RDONLY as both enumerator and macro in jessie, so this
doesn't seem to be a regression.

I think that any libraries that need to maintain backward binary
compatibility will need to be compiled with the option
-mincoming-stack-boundary=2. gcc will then fix up the stack alignment
in functions that need greater alignment for local variables.

All the timestamps are equal in the upstream tarball, but if the .gperf
files are touched before building it will result in this build failure.

As it's not possible to clone a merged bug, I'm assigning this to the

This bug was not assigned to connman any more. You made connman work

I believe that only a binNMU is required, i.e. a request for a automatic
rebuild. I'll leave that to the maintainers to decide.
