[Buildroot] PowerPC: scsi/sg.h missing in glibc-2.18 / linux-headers-3.10.20 toolchain

[Émeric Vigier]

Hi makers,

I struggled to cross-compile (powerpc) strace-4.8 with linux-headers-3.10.20
and glibc-2.18.It does not find <scsi/sg.h> in my toolchain. Indeed there is
none in my sysroot:

$ find output/ -path "*/scsi/sg.h"
output/build/glibc-2.18/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/scsi/sg.h
output/build/linux-headers-3.10.20/include/scsi/sg.h

I have a duplicate buildroot with linux-headers-3.2.52 and the same glibc.
It succeeds to compile strace. Indeed headers are present in sysroot:

$ find output/ -path "*/scsi/sg.h"
output/build/linux-headers-3.2.52/include/scsi/sg.h
output/build/glibc-2.18/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/scsi/sg.h
output/build/linux-3.2.x/include/scsi/sg.h
output/host/usr/powerpc-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/include/scsi/sg.h

I checked linux API changes but nothing about SCSI:
http://man7.org/tlpi/api_changes/index.html

I worked around this problem with a simple copy:
$ cp output/build/glibc-2.18/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/scsi/sg.h \
     output/host/usr/powerpc-buildroot-linux-gnu/sysroot/usr/incl

I'd like to know how to truly fix this issue. Is this a bug in the toolchain 
cross-compilation?

thanks,
Emeric

 This is a known issue: linux-headers removes sg.h from the staging
directory. Normally this isn't an issue because glibc installs it again,
but if for whatever reason linux-headers gets reinstalled, it gets
removed again. You shouldn't get this issue with a clean build.

 See the thread at
