+Subject: [PATCH] lib/gen_tables.c: define EHWPOISON when not available
+
+When building on some old system with old kernel headers, the
+gen_tables.c program (built natively) doesn't build due to missing
+EHWPOISON. This commit defines EHWPOISON to the value found in
+asm-generic kernel headers, which is correct for most (but not all
+architectures).
+
+Anyway, the whole concept of building a program on the host to generate
+a table with errno values, then built into a target program is
+inherently broken, so our fix is not more broken than the rest of the
+mechanism used by audit.
