[Pkg-gridengine-devel] Bug#833995: gridengine: embedded tcsh copy uses deprecated BSD union wait type

[Aurelien Jarno]

Source: gridengine
Version: 8.1.9+dfsg-1
Severity: important
Tags: patch upstream

Dear Maintainer,

glibc 2.24 has removed the deprecated BSD union wait type if favor of
the POSIX 1 interface using W* macros from <sys/wait.h> (such as
WEXITSTATUS).

glibc 2.24 is already available in experimental and will plan to upload
it to sid in the next days/weeks. The embedded tcsh copy will fail to
build (see bug#833965), causing in turn gridengine to fail to build from
source. You will find attached a patch taken from upstream tcsh to fix
the issue.

Please also note that this will not break the existing binaries, just
building the package from source.

Thanks,
Aurelien
