-makedev.3
- Mike Frysinger
- Use <sys/sysmacros.h> in SYNOPSIS
- Defining these functions via <sys/types.h> causes problems for
- some folk. As noted by Zack Wein:
-
- libstdc++ force-enables _GNU_SOURCE, which means people
- writing in C++ _can't_ avoid these nonstandard macros by
- using a strict conformance mode.
-
- Since glibc has basically always used <sys/sysmacros.h>,
- update the docs to have people include that instead.
- Michael Kerrisk
- NOTES: mention that <sys/types.h> may also define these macros
-
-popen.3
- Nikola Forró
- RETURN VALUE: describe successful case

- Marko Myllynen
- Update LC_ADDRESS after glibc change

- ip.7 man page.
