MIPS also have <sys/cdefs.h> in /usr/include/<multiarch>/sys/cdefs.h by libc-6-dev like any other architectures. The problem there is that the build is forced to 64 bits via -mabi=64. In that case the 64-bit headers provided by libc6-dev-mips64 should be installed. > What do you suggest ? > > https://buildd.debian.org/status/package.php?p=tau&suite=unstable > https://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sys%2Fcdefs.h&mode=path&suite=unstable&arch=mips Providing a 64-bit binary for a 32-bit architecture is not a good idea, the best would be to disable this -mabi=64 in the build. -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 4096R/1DDD8C9B [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net
