Glibc does not build: asm/page.h not found

As of linux-2.6.25, asm/page.h is no longer exported.

This means the glibc up to and including 2.6 will not build against headers
yann@538
     5
exported from linux-2.6.25 and up. Starting with glibc-2.6.1, patches are
yann@538
     6
available that solves the issue. Switch to at least 2.6.1 if you can, or try
yann@538
     7
to backport the fix (should be quite easy).

dmalloc does not build

This broken build has been observed for big endian ARM with glibc and NPTL,
yann@472
    13
and with i686 with glibc and NPTL.

This has not been fully investigated yet. There is a name clash with strdup,
yann@472
    16
where it is a macro somewhere, and dmalloc tries to re-declare a strdup
yann@472
    17
function in dmalloc.h, but the declaration is overwritten with the macro
yann@472
    18
expansion, and thus the build is broken.

The common denominator seems to be NPTL.
