   Hi,

    This is to report that union semun is missing under glibc 2.1 for Linux. 
   This structure is needed in the semctl() system call.

Please use the glibcbug script to report bugs for the GNU C Library.
Also make sure you read the documentation, especially the FAQ, before
reporting a bug.  If you had done this, you would most probably have
noted the following entry:

   3.15.   The sys/sem.h file lacks the definition of `union semun'.

   {UD} Nope.  This union has to be provided by the user program.  Former glibc
   versions defined this but it was an error since it does not make much sense
   when thinking about it.  The standards describing the System V IPC functions
   define it this way and therefore programs must be adopted.
