While the issue is real, this is not the reason while the package fails to build from source. The test is marked as XFAIL as shown above. > I have notified glibc upstream of these issue - not in a bug report but by > talking to one of the developers and I have now a patch that fixes the > problem [1]. > > This patch applies cleanly to glibc 2.22-9 in Debian unstable when dropping > the Changelog part from the upstream patch, so I'm attaching a patch with > this part removed as a suggestion for what to include in the Debian package. Thanks for submitting the patch upstream. Given the above, I think it is better to wait for an answer from upstream before applying it. > Please note: I was still getting some spurious test failures in rt/tst-mqueue5 > due to timeouts.

TIMEOUTFACTOR just increases the timeout, if you don't specify it, the test will just fail faster. Aurelien -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B aurel...@aurel32.net http://www.aurel32.net
