Bug#162780: libc6: Some architectures missing functions lrint() lrintf().

[erikd@mega-nerd.com]

Package: libc6
Version: 2.2.5-14.3
Severity: normal


-- System Information
Debian Release: 3.0
Kernel Version: Linux coltrane 2.4.19 #6 SMP Mon Aug 26 19:26:10 EST 2002 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Versions of the packages libc6 depends on:
ii  libdb1-compat  2.1.3-4        The Berkeley database routines [glibc 2.0/2.



I am the author of libsndfile (I am not a Debian maintainer) which uses two
functions from the C99 standard, lrint() and lrintf(). In another project I
am using the function llrint().

These functions exist on x86 and PowerPC Debian, but not on ia64, ARM and some 
others. The libsndfile configure script detects the existance of these 
functions as you can see from the Buildd logs here:

    http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=libsndfile

For testing, you can get a copy of libsndfile from here:
