Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-38+deb7u1
Severity: normal
Tags: upstream ipv6 patch

Dear Maintainer,

I am writing a daemon program which uses IPv6 socket options specified
in RFC 3542, and found some are not defined in <netinet/in.h> but in
<linux/in6.h>.

I tried to include <linux/in6.h> but it conflicted with <netinet/in.h>
so I had to copy the definition into my program.

This problem also applies to the upstream version.  A patch for the
glibc source code (version 2.19) is included below.
