Package: libc0.1-dev
Version: 2.11.3-2
The kernel definition of sigevent_t includes a few bytes of reserved space,
which are unused for now but may be eventually written by kernel when new
features are implemented.
AFAICT this is harmless for now, but it can become a problem in the future
(e.g. buffer overflow).
Unfortunately size of this struct can't be increased without breaking ABI.

Support for kfreebsd got removed in version 2.37-6. Closing the bug
accordingly.
