Bug#159923: libc6-dev: msq.h is broken for mips{,el}



Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.2.5-14
Severity: serious

There is no sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/bits/msq.h, which means that
the default msq.h is used (sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/bits/msq.h). 
Unfortunately, the kernel structure does not match the default msq.h,
but instead matches the one used on 64-bit capable archs like hppa,
powerpc, sparc, alpha, etc.  This has been fixed upstream in 2.2.93,
and in cvs ~11 days ago.

This bug is serious because perl fails to build as the message queue testsuite
fails, so this problem is holding up the perl transition in sarge.

If another 2.2.5 upload is coming, please ensure that
sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/mips/bits/msq.h is included from CVS.  If the next
upload is from 2.2.93 or higher, this bug can be closed.
