I think there's already a patch on list for this that
does this (with a proper configure test).

I still think that it's a shame that glibc is breaking
compatibility with where these macros have always been
kept on every OS that's implemented them back to 2BSD...

thanks

i don't think that characterization is accurate.  if it were,
autoconf wouldn't have a AC_HEADER_MAJOR helper.

Hmm, Googling suggests that Solaris (and perhaps
other SysV Unixes) put them in mkdev.h.
That doesn't explain why glibc is taking yet a third
approach here rather than using either of the two
previously used choices...

Whether or not you think glibc broke things, the fact remains that the
build is broken on current Fedora rawhide if we don't apply either this
or the other proposed patch (the one by Christopher Covington, which
I've now pinged)

Yes, I'm not opposed to qemu having a patch to work around this
mess. I'm just irritated that glibc makes it necessary.
