[Bug 1079770] Re: FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)

[Colin Watson]

I fixed this independently earlier (on top of the Debian sync you
mentioned).

diffutils (1:3.2-7ubuntu1) raring; urgency=low

  * Avoid assuming that gets is declared.

Title:
  FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)

Status in “diffutils” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “diffutils” package in Debian:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  diffutils does not build against eglibc-2.16 due to gets having been removed
  but embedded gnulib in package still referring to it.

  Upstream bug links are in the patch.

  This patch makes it work by #ifdefing the offending line but the proper
  fix is a new upstream release using a newer gnulib. Preferably by syncing from debian.
