Bug#267442: linux-kernel-headers: /usr/include/sys/uio.h - vector keyword used in file
Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.5.999-test7-bk-17
Severity: normal
This file contains two __vector keywords and this is illegal for Altivec enabled PowerPC
systems. vector keyword is reserved by GCC for AltiVec types.
This produce a syntax error when compiling any project including this file and AltiVec
enabled in GCC. For example recent mplayer (CVS version) is affected by this problem.
A fix is is realy trivial, just change __vector to __vec (for example of coz)
