[Parted-maintainers] Bug#699653: parted: FTBFS with eglibc 2.16 and later: Needs gnulib update

Source: parted
Version: 2.3-12
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-x32 at lists.debian.org
Usertags: port-x32 ftbfs-gnulib

I'm getting parted build failures on the unofficial Debian x32 port:

<URL:http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=parted&arch=x32&ver=2.3-12&stamp=1358757053>
...
/bin/bash ../libtool  --tag=CC   --mode=compile

-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2  -g -O2 -fstack-protector

`/build/buildd-parted_2.3-12-x32-4Eh55m/parted-2.3/build-deb/lib'
make[4]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
...

The cause of this is that x32 is using eglibc 2.16 currently (and I'm
planning to move to 2.17 from experimental soon), so this will affect
all architectures once eglibc 2.17+ hits sid (after the freeze).  I'm
attaching a debdiff of the changes I used to build an upload for
debian-ports/unreleased.
