Thanks for the reply. It helps. I think this is a bug in libc6-dev
then (which provides /usr/include/sys/user.h) .

In libc6-dev 2.13-4, I have

debian_chroot:sid:kusumanchi:/home# grep "define NBPG" /usr/include/sys/user.h
#define NBPG                    PAGE_SIZE
debian_chroot:sid:kusumanchi:/home# grep "define PAGE_SIZE"
/usr/include/sys/user.h
#define PAGE_SIZE               (__sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE))

where as in libc6-dev 2.11.2-10, I have
$grep "define NBPG" /usr/include/sys/user.h
#define NBPG                    PAGE_SIZE
$grep "define PAGE_SIZE" /usr/include/sys/user.h
#define PAGE_SIZE               (sysconf(_SC_PAGESIZE))

The testcase I gave works in libc6-dev 2.11.2-10, gcc 4:4.4.5-1 and
fails in libc6-dev 2.13-4, gcc 4:4.6.0-5.
