Exactly which version of glibc, and which compiler?  Mgetty does check for
glibc2 in various places (btw: it's "libc6" or "glibc2", not "glibc6"),
and so I'm fairly surprised that this reappears.

No.  The "const" stuff is actually only a hint to the compiler "complain
if somebody tries to change it", but doesn't affect code generation.

Better use the config files, not policy.h, for modem specific things.
