Bug Description

libsdl1.2 fails to build in trusty-proposed due to eglibc 2.18, which rearranges headers and exposes an incompatibility between eglibc and kernel handling of P_ALL, P_PID, P_GID.

libtool: compile: gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat -Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Iinclude -I../../include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -fvisibility=hidden -maltivec -D_REENTRANT -DXTHREADS -I/usr/include/ -D_REENTRANT -DHAVE_LINUX_VERSION_H -Wall -c ../../src/video/fbcon/SDL_fbevents.c -fPIC -DPIC -o build/.libs/SDL_fbevents.o

/usr/include/linux/wait.h has P_ALL as a #define; bits/waitflags.h has it as an enum. This means one gets compile failures based on the order of header includes.

The linux header should probably be mixed to match the libc API.

This was worked around in eglibc with some ifdef magic, but we still need to sync the headers upstream in one way or another.
