[Bug 1992159] Re: Syntax error defien in socket.h

[Dominik Viererbe]

Hello Karsten,
thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping improve Ubuntu.

I try replicating the bug to write a Stable Release Update request for
Ubuntu 22.04 jammy. I am not familiar with Oracle ESQL. Can you write
more detailed instructions on how to reproduce the bug?

In the meantime, I will try to find a compiler that also reproduces your
result.

I did some research today:
A Compilers will exit with a syntax error when a user tries to compile glibc for systems where the 'time_t' type of the default ABI is 32 bits (e.g. arm, hppa, microblaze). The compiler must be a Clang compiler with a major version of less than four and is either a GNUC compiler with a major version of less than two or no GNUC compiler. 

If someone should be confused, here is the logical notation:
TIME_BITS_SIZE = 32 AND CLANG_MAJOR < 4 AND (NOT GNUC OR GNUC < 2)

As Simon Chopin (schopin) pointed out:
Many non-GNUC compilers try to appear as a GNUC compiler by using pre-defined compiler macros typical for GNUC compilers. 

A non-GNUC compiler that tries to appear as GNUC version two or higher
may NOT be affected, while a non-GNUC compiler may be affected.

  #  defien sendmsg __sendmsg64

  which obviously should read "define" instead.
