Bug#648889: /usr/include/features.h(323): catastrophic error: could not open source file "bits/predefs.h"

[Wolfgang Tichy <wtichy43@gmail.com>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-21
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I just tried to comiple some code with the intel compiler and got:
/usr/include/features.h(323): catastrophic error: could not open source file
"bits/predefs.h"
  #include <bits/predefs.h>

The reason seems to be that /usr/include/features.h includes bits/predefs.h
which does not exist in  /usr/include/ . However, it exists in
/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/ . If I also install libc6-dev-i386 the problem
goes away since this seems to create a symlink /usr/include/bits -> x86_64
-linux-gnu/bits .

Shouldn't we be able to use features.h without also installing  libc6-dev-i386?

Thanks a lot,
Wolfgang
