Description

Lustre-1.8.8 can be built with RHEL5.1, but can't with 1.8.9. Here is error messages when it's compiled.

Thanks Li Xi. Those wanting to use older RHEL5 releases with 1.8.x may well be interested in this change though our usual convention is to build and validate against the latest point release of the distro available at the time of the release, so RHEL5.9 at the present time, say.
