Description michal 1999-12-13 05:57:51 UTC 
A file includes/cf/linux.h from dhcp-2.0 is incorrect by falling
flat on an assumption that Linux means 32-bit processor.  This is false
at least on Alpha and UltraSPARC.  In such situations a server resulting
from a source recompilation is broken.

At this moment I worked around the problem by using the following
patch:

and modifying spec file accorgingly to apply this conditionally
on architecture.  Still this should be really fixed in sources
and the current beta of dhcp-3.0 at ISC is still broken.  This bug
was reported on dhcp-server mailing list.
