Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 4.19.118-2
Severity: important

Dear maintainer,

QEMU doesn't build since 4.19.118-2, the error has been discussed at length on
the Ubuntu bugtracker:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1847361/
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1877123/

The upstream kernel includes a fix, it has also been backported by the Ubuntu
team (see links above).

Since this breaks userspace functionality (e.g. QEMU and some systemd builds
from what I gather), including the fix here too would be nice.

~ Stefan
