Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.9-24 Severity: normal The man page for strsignal(3) claims that the function is not part of any standard. Actually the function is part of the POSIX standard, as of 2008. See
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/strsignal.html This means among other things that it should be possible to get the function without #define _GNU_SOURCE as described on the man page. This will require a change to GNU libc. I'm reporting to Debian rather than upstream because upstream says that glibc bugs as part of a Linux distribution should be reported to that distribution. -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable'), (50, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-1-686 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libc6-dev depends on: ii libc-dev-bin 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Development binarie ii libc6 2.9-24 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii linux-libc-dev 2.6.26-19 Linux support headers for userspac Versions of packages libc6-dev recommends: ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.3.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-2.95 [c-compiler] 1:2.95.4-27 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.1 [c-compiler] 4.1.2-25 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.3 [c-compiler] 4.3.2-1.1 The GNU C compiler Versions of packages libc6-dev suggests: ii glibc-doc 2.7-18 GNU C Library: Documentation ii manpages-dev 3.05-1 Manual pages about using GNU/Linux -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
