Bug#551494: libc6-dev: Please define O_CLOEXEC in fcntl.h

[Remi Denis-Courmont <remi@remlab.net>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.9-27
Severity: wishlist


	Hello,

Recent kernel versions introduced the O_CLOEXEC open() flag to support
setting the close-on-exec in a thread-safe manner (i.e. atomic w.r.t.
the process file descriptor table).

Unfortunately, the definition for O_CLOEXEC is only available through
kernel headers that conflict with <fcntl.h>. Please provide a definition
from the glibc headers too!

Best regards,
