Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.7-18
Severity: minor


In /usr/include/dirent.h, the fourth and final argument of
scandir() is prototyped to be

  int (*)(const void *, const void *).

However, the manpage documents it to be

  int (*)(const struct dirent **, const struct dirent **)

Sadly, the difference appears to cause GCC 4.3.2 to emit a
warning on correct use, even without -Wall.
