mysql won't compile with libc6-2.0.6 (Debian)

[Scott Hanson <shanson@shcon.com>]

Please pardon the cross-posting to two unrelated lists, but I'm not
sure if this is a mysql problem or a libc6 problem. I suspect the latter.

After working just fine with libc6-2.0.5c, I'm not able to compile
mysql under the new libc6-2.0.6 packages. The first noticable symptom
is that the configure script doesn't detect ncurses, and the compile
craps out trying to use termcap. (My first thought was to hack the
configure script to use ncurses anyway, but that didn't work :)

Looking at the config.log, I found several instances similar to the
following:

------------------------
configure:3320: checking for restartable system calls
configure:3346: gcc -o conftest -g -O2   conftest.c -lnsl -lm    -static -lpthread 1>&5

/* Exit 0 (true) if wait returns something other than -1,
   i.e. the pid of the child, which means that wait was restarted
   after getting the signal.  */
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <signal.h>
ucatch (isig) { }
main () {
  int i = fork (), status;
  if (i == 0) { sleep (3); kill (getppid (), SIGINT); sleep (3); exit (0); }
  signal (SIGINT, ucatch);
  status = wait(&i);
  if (status == -1) wait(&i);
  exit (status == -1);
}
------------------------

Could this be a bug in libc6-2.0.6?
