Package: libc6.1-dev Version: 2.3.6.ds1-13 Since 2.3.31, the Linux kernel has allowed an additional 'flags' value for mremap(): MREMAP_FIXED (defined with the value 2), which serves a similar purpose to the mmap() MAP_FIXED flag. If this flag is supplied, then mremap() employs a fifth argument,

Bug#205328: Libc 2.3.2-2 breaks programs staticly linked against 2.3.1
