Bug#271062: /usr/include/sys/select.h: fd_set warnings in C++

["Jeroen T. Vermeulen" <jtv@xs4all.nl>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.3.2.ds1-16
Severity: minor
File: /usr/include/sys/select.h
Tags: patch

The __FDMASK macro in <sys/select.h> casts the integer 1 to an __fd_mask
(which is required to be a long int).  This C-style cast yields a
warning in application code when compiling in C++, breaking builds that
treat warnings as errors.

Defining separate versions for C and C++, with different cast syntax,
would be unnecessarily bulky.  Instead, I would propose to turn the
constant "1" (int) into "1L" (long int) and remove the cast.
