Note: on yakkety-proposed the build FTBFS first due to bug 1619289,
after that is fixed then we get this issue.

As reported in debian bug #810907 by Fernando Seiti:

The package repsnapper fails to build from source on ppc64el with the
following errors:

  src/printer/custom_baud.cpp: In function 'bool set_custom_baudrate(int, int)':
  src/printer/custom_baud.cpp:15:19: error: aggregate 'set_custom_baudrate(int, int)::termios2 options' has incomplete type and cannot be defined
     struct termios2 options;
                   ^
  src/printer/custom_baud.cpp:17:26: error: 'TCGETS2' was not declared in this scope
     if ( ioctl( device_fd, TCGETS2, &options ) < 0 ) {
                          ^
  src/printer/custom_baud.cpp:27:26: error: 'TCSETS2' was not declared in this scope
     if ( ioctl( device_fd, TCSETS2, &options ) < 0 ) {

That is probably because, although the type and macros in the errors are
defined within termios.h from asm-generic, that header is not included within
arch specific headers (eg asm/termbits.h) for ppc64el.

It is possible to force usage of those, but I am not sure that is the proper
approach to fix this (aka I don't know if it will work).
There is a patch attached that allows it to build.

I tested the patch on ppc64el and x86_64

Thanks and regards.

Fernando
