Package: linux-kernel-headers
Version: 2.6.18-1
Severity: important
The linux-kernel-headers 2.6.18 source tarball contains an old version
of <include/asm-i386/unistd.h>. This old version has the _syscall*
macros hidden inside an #ifdef __KERNEL__ so userspace cannot use them.
The ifdef is on line 327. The source file was fixed in the following
patch:
<http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=386dcafaacd212ef4a8aeed67a7db3ffbb44c7b2>
According to the Changelog
(<http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.18>) it was
fixed between 2.6.18-rc5 and 2.6.18-rc6. I checked a couple of more
recent commits in include/asm-i386 and they are up-to-date in the source
tarball.

Thanks for the response. I am satisfied that this is an invalid bug
report -- I didn't look far enough initially.
