Red Hat Product Errata RHBA-2007:0318 0 normal SHIPPED_LIVE glibc-kernheaders bug fix update 2007-04-30 14:44:01 UTC

Description David Woodhouse 2005-10-25 07:42:02 UTC 
struct iphdr {
#if defined(__LITTLE_ENDIAN)
        uint8_t ihl:4,
                version:4;
#elif defined (__BIG_ENDIAN)
        uint8_t version:4,
                ihl:4;
#endif

Both __LITTLE_ENDIAN and __BIG_ENDIAN are defined. It should be 
#if __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN
etc.

Comment 1 David Woodhouse 2005-10-25 08:15:12 UTC 
Bug exists in FC4 and rawhide too. glibc-kernheaders-3.0-2 built in rawhide,
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-9.1.99 is built in dist-fc4-updates-candidate.
Awaiting process for RHEL4.
