-Subject: [PATCH] mksquashfs/unsquashfs: fix compilation with glibc 2.25+
-MIME-Version: 1.0

-From glibc 2.25 release notes:
-https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2017-02/msg00079.html
-"* The inclusion of <sys/sysmacros.h> by <sys/types.h> is deprecated.
-  This means that in a future release, the macros “major”, “minor”, and
-  “makedev” will only be available from <sys/sysmacros.h>."
-
-See glibc bug https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=19239 .
