Description of problem: Several interface macros were removed from the kernel headers, which glibc requires when compiling. The fact that they are now gone from the kernel causes compilation issues. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel >= 2.6.19, glibc >= 2.5.90 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. make headers_check in kernel 2.6.19 source 2. install exported 2.6.19 headers 3. try to compile glibc Actual results: Errors on missing defines/macros. Expected results: Glibc should compile to completion and generate a new binary rpm. Additional info: I'm not sure what version of kernel headers is currently being used in fedora-devel or if this is fixed in the fedora kernel includes, I just wanted to give a heads-up that using a vanilla 2.6.19 kernel exported header-set, you won't be able to compile glibc without some help.

The patch is wrong, you can't include <linux/if_addr.h> without any checks, as that header didn't exist before. Some macros aren't needed. glibc-2.5.90-11 has a different fix.
