You are right. uclibc does this:

#if 0 /* in uClibc we use macros */
extern cpu_set_t *__sched_cpualloc (size_t __count) __THROW __wur;
extern void __sched_cpufree (cpu_set_t *__set) __THROW;
#else
# define __sched_cpualloc(cnt) ((cpu_set_t *)malloc(__CPU_ALLOC_SIZE(cnt)))
# define __sched_cpufree(__set) free(__set)
#endif

And since this is only a warning, I don't think its worth the effort.

Thanks!
