I am curious about this.
This patch has been proposed since almost a month or more now, and clearly nobody seems to care about this, since it didn't make it in the 2.6.0-test11 tarball (don't know about more recent bk trees though) nor do the debian glibc maintainer judge the issue important enough to act on it (despite it breaking buildage of other packages).
So, is there a reason why not to solve this problem this way, or a particular reason why __invalid_size_argument_for_IOC is still int and not unsigned int ?
