Package: manpages-dev
Version: 2.63-1
Severity: wishlist

Steps to reproduce:
1) cat >testcase.c <<EOF
#define _ATFILE_SOURCE
#include <sys/stat.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
    printf("%d\n", AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW);
    return 0;
}
EOF
2) gcc -c testcase.c

Expected results:
2) gcc compiles code into testcase.o

Actual results:
2) compilation fails with the error messages

a.c: In function 'main':
a.c:6: error: 'AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW' undeclared (first use in this function)
a.c:6: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
a.c:6: error: for each function it appears in.)

even though ma fstatat mentions that

#define _ATFILE_SOURCE
#include <sys/stat.h>

should be enough to get AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW defined.

More info:
1) It seems that

#include <fcntl.h>

defines AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW -- maybe this should be documented?
