You may have noticed that the last upload of linux-kernel-headers fixed
thirteen reported bugs, including this one. Anyone else is welcome to
join debian-glibc and aid in fixing even more of them.
It did not build everywhere, and then I went on holiday and no one else
had the interest in fixing its bugs, so it's still not available on
some buildds.
