Fixed glibc-2.32+ issue

From man of sys_errlist:

Since glibc version 2.32, the declarations of sys_errlist and sys_nerr are no longer exposed by <stdio.h>.

As the cernlib still tries to compile agains these symbols, it fails if glibc-2.32 is used.

Attached patch fixes the problem. It should be compatible with all glibc versions presented in the tree.

Thank you. Did you write the patch? Is upstream informed? Is there a ticket upstream, which you could link here?

Comment 2 Rafal Lalik 2020-12-12 23:57:43 UTC

Yes, this is my patch.

As far as I know this is maintained by Debian group. I did not inform them yet. B Ut I did now and add you in cc in the e-mail.
