• Type: Bug
• Resolution: Fixed
• Priority: Minor
• Fix Version/s: Lustre 1.8.7
• Affects Version/s: Lustre 1.8.6
• Labels: ppc
• Environment: SLES11SP1 for ia64; gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.3.4 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 152973]; Lustre 1.8.5
• Severity: 3
• Assignee: Robert Read
• Reporter: Stephen Champion

Description

This is fixed in master (LU-102) but appears to be present in b1_8.

Building vanilla 1.8.5-

/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lustre-1.8.5/lustre/obdclass/genops.c:96: error: __ksymtab_obd_device_free causes a section type conflict
/usr/src/packages/BUILD/lustre-1.8.5/lustre/obdclass/genops.c:81: error: __ksymtab_obd_device_alloc causes a section type conflict

As with ppc, recent releases of GCC for ia64 are refusing to export static functions.
With no external references, these do not need to be exported.

Patch on the way.
