Particularly, trying to use the headers from a fork of the source tree rather than the installed headers processed by the compiler driver as being the "system include" path where this kind of warning would be suppressed. That's not to say the conflicts aren't a problem, but to warn you that you might hit other places where there's real breakage. Particularly, if you're running your own build of musl not using the build process, it's possible you'll be missing CFLAGS (e.g. -ffreestanding and related things) necessary to suppress transformations that aren't valid when compiling part of the implementation, and other issues like that. > The following workaround helps, but looks quite ugly: > > --- arch/generic/bits/ioctl.h (b4624b83eafbdd5f2e2c37374d62426c27687f35) > > +++ arch/generic/bits/ioctl.h (d545cbc1ae3f5c9132eb26b176bef3638c9d8063) > > @@ -1,3 +1,9 @@ > > +#undef _IO > > +#undef _IOC > > +#undef _IOR > > +#undef _IOW > > +#undef _IOWR > > + > > #define _IOC(a,b,c,d) ( ((a)<<30) | ((b)<<8) | (c) | ((d)<<16) ) > > #define _IOC_NONE 0U > > #define _IOC_WRITE 1U > > > > Is it possible to get official solution for the macro conflict? It's explicitly unsupported to include linux/* headers that might produce conflicting definitions *before* the libc headers they might conflict with.

This has been an open issue for a while. At least the initgroups() function is not prepared to handle large values of NGROUPS_MAX. There's been some discussion in the past on how this could be changed. I'll need to dig it up. I think the general leaning was that it should be changed, once we work out a good way to do it. Rich
