This causes a syntax error for anything using this header. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.compile something with #include <linux/timex.h> 2. 3. Actual Results: Syntax error: /usr/include/linux/timex.h:56: error: syntax error before "and" Expected Results: Correct compilation. Additional info:
Valgrind 2.1.0 doesn't compile on Fedora Core 1 because of this bug.
+1 Chronyd also doesn't compile on FC1 because of this bug...
Why is this bug still open? Thats 2 months for a typo in a header file. (missing '/' for the comment field) While the fix is trivial, I'm surprised no one has squashed this. This was originally in glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36 (arjan) That package is now know as glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4 (jakub) Please reassign to Jakub. (jakub) Cheers Phil (aka Bryce) =--=

This seems to be fixed in glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.43 (Raw Hide).
> This was originally in glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36 (arjan) > That package is now know as glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4 (jakub) This is not so clear to me. Could you clarify ? The incorrect file is /usr/include/linux/timex.h and belongs to glibc-kernheaders: $ rpm -qf /usr/include/linux/timex.h glibc-kernheaders-2.4-8.36 There is another timex.h file in /usr/include/sys that belongs to glibc-headers: # rpm -qf /usr/include/sys/timex.h glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4 but these are very different files, and there is noyhing wrong with the latter. Moreover, glibc-kernheaders are needed by glibc-headers. $ rpm -e --test glibc-kernheaders error: Failed dependencies: kernel-headers is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4 kernel-headers >= 2.2.1 is needed by (installed) glibc-headers-2.3.2-101.4
Created attachment 101030 [details] Fixes missing start of comment line
[Argh, forgot to add my comment, sorry.] Well, this is getting really old. Time to patch it and spin an update glibc-kernheaders package I think.
Thanks for the bug report. This bug doesn't seem to be present any more in current versions.
