The dnprogs source package is getting this build failure on the
unofficial Debian x32 port:

...
gcc -g -O2 -fstack-protector --param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -Wformat
-Werror=format-security -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -pipe -fsigned-char

dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules build gave error exit status 2

Even on systems where sysctl(2) is provided, it's deprecated and
unmaintained.  The attached debdiff changes the uses of sysctl to the
preferred alternative of writing to files in /proc/sys.  (Note that I
was guessing on the filename to use since I don't have decnet here, I
was just looking at this as a build-dep of roaraudio, etc.  So if I
got it wrong, don't hesitate to correct me.)

Version: 2.60+x32

This FTBFS is no more since ages ago.  The debdiff you sent has been applied
verbatim, including 2.60+x32 as the version number and unreleased as the
distribution.  The Closes: stanza was missing.  Thus, let's close this by
hand.
