It depends what do you mean by real program. I doubt it still affect
debian packages. The change has been introduced by kernel 4.5, and I
guess by now all the FTBFS have been fixed. At least for stretch, they
might be a few left in sid.

Now some of the fixes might not have reached upstream yet.

If we consider that acceptable, we can lower the severity of the bugs on
both the kernel and the glibc side.
