[Bug libc/6775] New: Spurious use of __USE_GNU for in6_pktinfo definition

- Reply-to: sourceware-bugzilla at sourceware dot org
In libc/inet/netinet/in.h version >= 2.8 the in6_pkinfo structure definition is protected by __USE_GNU
when the structure is a member of the "Advanced Sockets API for IPv6" (RFC 2292 and 3542) which:
- has nothing to do with GNU
- is used by many IPv6 applications
So can you fix this before the release?
At our side, we'll try to update the POSIX standard.
Thanks
