Bug#583433: libc6-dev: bassackwards tests for ARG_MAX in sys/param.h

[Ian Zimmerman <itz@buug.org>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.10.2-9
Severity: normal
Tags: squeeze upstream

Here's the beginning of /usr/include/sys/param.h:

#ifndef ARG_MAX
# define __undef_ARG_MAX
#endif

#include <limits.h>
#include <linux/limits.h>
#include <linux/param.h>

/* The kernel headers defines ARG_MAX.  The value is wrong, though.  */
#ifndef __undef_ARG_MAX
# undef ARG_MAX
# undef __undef_ARG_MAX
#endif


The line just below the comment should be #ifdef and not #ifndef.  See also
/usr/include/bits/local_lim.h where the same mechanism is used (correctly).
