Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 2.6.21-4
Severity: serious
Justification: causes build failures (#428944)
<linux/types.h> can't be used together with <sys/ustat.h> because they
both define struct ustat:
$ cat test.c
#include <sys/ustat.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
$ gcc -c test.c
In file included from test.c:2:
/usr/include/linux/types.h:165: error: redefinition of 'struct ustat'
linux-kernel-headers solved this by removing the definition from
<linux/types.h> -- see debian/patches/linux-types-ustat.patch:

The glibc is correct here. If you don't want to get the bug assigned on
linux-2.6, then I am closing the bug.
