I have difficulties with this patch.  This patch adds new interface
glibc 2.3.4 versioning symbol - it should not be in glibc 2.3.2 or
2.3.3.

I fear to change this interface until sarge release because there
might be another packages that uses sched_setaffinity.

I tender not to include the patch.  I would like to call your opinion
about Bastian's patch.
