It depends what do you mean by real program. I doubt it still affect debian packages. The change has been introduced by kernel 4.5, and I guess by now all the FTBFS have been fixed. At least for stretch, they might be a few left in sid. Now some of the fixes might not have reached upstream yet. If we consider that acceptable, we can lower the severity of the bugs on both the kernel and the glibc side. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
