glibc-update: waterfox does not build anymore, missing sys/sysctl.h

/buildroot/waterfox/waterfox-56.2.14-0/source/objdir/dist/system_wrappers/sys/sysctl.h:3:15: fatal error: 'sys/sysctl.h' file not found

vs.

From the announcement:

• The Linux-specific <sys/sysctl.h> header and the sysctl function have been
  deprecated and will be removed from a future version of glibc.
  Application should directly access /proc instead. For obtaining random
  bits, the getentropy function can be used.

I guess, Waterfox needs to be updated, or – if there are no users anymore – removed.

also impacts js.be0

bee@pappnase:/project/beehive> grep sys/sysctl.h work/*
[...]
work/js-52.2.1gnome1-0.stdout:/dev/shm/mxqd/mnt/job/26770685/js-52.2.1gnome1-0/buildroot/js/js-52.2.1gnome1-0/build/dist/system_wrappers/sys/sysctl.h:3:15: fatal error: sys/sysctl.h: No such file or directory
work/js-52.2.1gnome1-0.stdout: #include_next <sys/sysctl.h>
[...]

so no high impact anyway.

ah, libio.h is missing also.

done-old/alsa-oss-1.0.28-0.stdout:/usr/include/libio.h:21:2: warning: #warning "<libio.h> is deprecated; use <stdio.h> instead." [-Wcpp]
done-old/alsa-oss-1.0.28-0.stdout: #warning "<libio.h> is deprecated; use <stdio.h> instead."

at least the warned 8-)
