Re: Bug#270856: parse error when compiling against '/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h'

[Paul Boyle <paulcboyle@gmail.com>]

I have tried to compile the following program

#include <asm/sigcontext.h>
int main()
{
return 0;
}

When I try to compile this I get the following parse errors

/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:79: error: parse error before '*' token
/usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:82: error: parse error before '}' token

But if I remove the "__user" from sigcontext.h everything work okay.

Here is a brief list of the package versions installed on my computer.

gcc  3.3.4
libc6 2.3.2
kernel 2.4.26

With the exception of the kernel, which I compiled myself,  everything
else is pure debian with no special configuration. I have kept the
system up to date with testing.

By removing the "__user" I have solved the problems I was having, so I am
only reporting this problem in case it someone else is having the same problem.
But if there is anything I can do the help resolve this I would be
happy to help.
