Hmmpf, that fix was easier than simple. I should have figured that out for myself. Thanks for your patience.

I don't know. I'm sure that someone has likely told him by now. I'm not a qmail user, but there are patches all over the place for it.
The fix is pretty simple. Remove all instances of:
extern int errno;
And replace with:
#include <errno.h>
Tks, Jeff Bailey

Jeff,
Do you know if Dan Bernstein is aware qmail's non-compliance and if he plans to fix it? Or does he want someone else to fix it?
Thanks. Tom

I've seen a lot of reports of this bug:
ld.so: Incorrectly built binary which accesses errno or h errno directly.
but haven't seen any work arounds or anyone talking about a fix. Can you tell me when a fix might be released?
The best fix is to fix the broken programs that don't comply with the C specifications. The second best fix is to wait until the next glibc upload, which should have the warning disabled by default.
The broken programs will need to be fixed anyway, since we can't maintain compatibility with these bugs forever. But the glibc for Sarge will be fine. It's not obvious yet what will happen for Sarge+1.
Tks, Jeff Bailey
