Package: libc6-dev

I apology if this bug has already been reported but I am unable to find
it through the web bug report interface.
POSIX 2008 requires that <stdio.h> expose ssize_t, va_list, and getline
(among others) if _POSIX_C_SOURCE is 200809L or greater. However, the
2.11 glibc does not conform to this (see
http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=11125).
I'm currently working on some GNU coreutils and since I'm working with
the Debian squeeze I got this issue. See thread
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2012-02/msg00128.html
As I said in the above thread, this issue has been fixed in GNU libc
cd2f000c074b07931bd78ab5ff5fa3c0f7db628a commit. I wonder if you could
backport this bug fix ?
BTW, I take this mail to really thank you for this great distribution.
Cheers,
Jérémy

This isssue is fixed in version 2.13-1 and later, which is in wheezy and
sid. I am not sure we want to backport POSIX2008 support to the squeeze
version given it doesn't match the stable update policy. Moreover this
commit is not enough, half a dozen of commit is needed. If you really
think this should be fixed in squeeze, please ask
debian-release@lists.debian.org.
