Title:
  htons() returns wrong type on non-{i386,amd64} platforms

Status in Embedded GLIBC:
  Unknown
Status in “eglibc” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “glibc” package in Fedora:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  The definition of htons() on platforms other than i386 and amd64 is
  missing a cast to uint16_t, which caused this FTBFS of mosh on armel
  and armhf:

  https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mosh/1.2.1-1ubuntu1/+build/3582950
  network.cc:76:28: error: narrowing conversion of '({...})' from 'unsigned int' to 'uint16_t {aka short unsigned int}' inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]
  network.cc:76:50: error: narrowing conversion of '({...})' from 'unsigned int' to 'uint16_t {aka short unsigned int}' inside { } is ill-formed in C++11 [-Werror=narrowing]

  (We didn’t see this before because this warning is new in GCC 4.7.)

  This was fixed for glibc 2.16 in
  http://sourceware.org/git/?p=glibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=2174c6dd8555f654c30df2f8f3321b69e0f736f8
