I hope some can assist with this and fast as I need to have this solved by Monday as I'm moving an openvz-042stab125.3 installation to new HW and need to recompile vzctl, which now isn't possible due to changes in later glibc..

The problem: starting with glibc-2.23 the declaration
include <sys/sysmacros.h>
was removed from from types.h, leading to compile errors in packages like vzctl assuming certain function declarations like makedev, major, minor etc. are included by the glibc library.

The solution: the line
#include <sys/sysmacros.h>

now needs to be included in the package own code, and assume this will happen once vzctl-4.9.5 is released, but until then, where is the proper place to add it in 4.9.4, in /include/types.h?
or maybe /src/lib/config.c as that's where the compile error seems to happens?

EDIT:
This is what was removed in glibc-2.23
Subject: [PATCH] sys/types.h: drop sys/sysmacros.h include

We want to break apart this include path due to namespace pollution.
