Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.7-2 Severity: serious Justification: breaks other packages The following test program: --- #define _XOPEN_SOURCE #include <wchar.h> #include <malloc.h> --- results in a compile-time error: In file included from foo.c:3: /usr/include/malloc.h:85: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘__size’ /usr/include/malloc.h:88: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘__size’This is due to ptrdiff_t not being properly defined. This bug is causing swi-prolog to FTBFS (#453167). Also note that #defining _XOPEN_SOURCE to 400 (or any other number less than 500) works as well to trigger the bug, in case you have some philosophical objection to #defining it to an empty value.
