The dnprogs source package is getting this build failure on the
unofficial Debian x32 port:

Even on systems where sysctl(2) is provided, it's deprecated and
unmaintained. The attached debdiff changes the uses of sysctl to the
preferred alternative of writing to files in /proc/sys. (Note that I
was guessing on the filename to use since I don't have decnet here, I
was just looking at this as a build-dep of roaraudio, etc. So if I
got it wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.)
