[Bug 1109298] Re: [Regression] error when trying to compile a program which uses alsa/asoundlib.h with EGLIBC 2.17

[Adam Conrad]

It could be a bit more interesting than just "include some more headers"
for the proper upstream fix:

#if defined __USE_SVID || defined __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED || defined __USE_BSD
# include <sys/types.h> /* we need int32_t... */

stdlib.h *does* include sys/types.h, but only under certain conditions.
It's entirely plausible that those conditions aren't being met by alsa
which, previously, may have been mistakenly making use of sysv/xopen
extensions without declaring so, but some other part of the toolchain
picked up the slack and papered over it.

Bug description:
  Hello,

  Firstly, thank you for maintaining and packaging this complex project!

  I'm not sure that this bug is due to libc6 but with the latest version
  (and not with the previous one: I just downgraded to the previous
  version and I don't have this problem with it) I'm no longer able to
  compile a Cairo-Dock's plugin which includes <alsa/asoundlib.h>.

  Here is the error:

  =================


  It seems that 'u_intX_t' ('u_int8_t', etc.) are defined in <sys/types.h>.
  Should I have to report this bug to alsa devs or now should I have to include <sys/types.h> before including <alsa/asoundlib.h>?

  Regards,

  Matt
