One would assume from the output that it specifies a standard then uses a header outside of the standard (ie <sys/file.h>). I think in the past we've labeled these as application problems, but perhaps we might want to be a bit more accommodating to pseudo- conformant applications (especially considering it usually only requires an s/u_int/unsigned int/ and s/u_int(\d+)_t/uint$1_t/ in userland headers). > Untested fix: [...patch to fix __BSD_VISIBLE misuse in <sys/stat.h>...] > > "find /usr/include/ | grep _VISIBLE | egrep(ifdef|ifndef|defined)" > shows similar bugs in <math.h>. I'm seeking commit approval to fix both of these. Best regards, Mike Barcroft
