Hi, well, more headers are fixed, but I don't include these in the gcc package. I still think to find out how many headers are affected, we have to run the test at least once. Not sure how many many header files will be found. Matthias -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
