Bug#915962: startpar: FTBFS with recent glibc

[Samuel Thibault]

Package: startpar
Version: 0.59-4
Severity: serious
Justification: FTBFS
Tags: patch

Hello,

startpar currently FTBFS in sid:

proc.c: In function 'detect_consoles':
proc.c:169:19: warning: implicit declaration of function 'makedev' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
      comparedev = makedev(maj, min);
                   ^~~~~~~
...
/usr/bin/ld: proc.o: in function `detect_consoles':
./proc.c:169: undefined reference to `makedev'

We indeed need to include sys/sysmacros.h to get access to this
non-standard macro, as the attached patch does.

Samuel
