Package: linux-libc-dev
Version: 4.11-1~exp2
Severity: normal
File: /usr/include/linux/a.out.h
Tags: upstream, patch

linux/a.out.h contains a number of uses of "deprecated
system-specific predefined macros" that will not be defined
when the compiler is used in a strict conformance mode, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-6.3.0/cpp/System-specific-Predefined-Macros.html
for details.

This would only be a minor problem, except that it causes the GCC build
process to copy the header, "fix" it, and install the "fixed" copy in a
private directory that is searched before /usr/include.  It is desirable
for GCC not to do this to any headers, because it means updates to the
original are silently ignored until the GCC package is itself updated.

Please apply the attached patch.  It would be best if it were installed
to all actively maintained Debian kernels.  I will submit it upstream.
