Description

Building Lustre 2.15 from git under Alma 8.5 using the configure cmd (taken from previous attempts with lustre-ldiskfs-dkms-2.15.0-1.el8)
__

./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-modules --disable-iokit --disable-snmp --disable-doc --disable-tests --disable-maintainer-mode --disable-utils --with-linux=...

fails with

lstddef.h:306:22: error: static declaration of 'copy_file_range' follows non-static declaration

omitting

Thanks for the report Thomas. It looks like this may already be addressed by patch https://review.whamcloud.com/46836

LU-15652 build: On Debian detect -common kernel headers

Check for a matching /usr/src/linux-headers-<ver>-common/
and update the --with-linux argument accordingly.

Also move LC_GLIBC_SUPPORT_COPY_FILE_RANGE outside
of utils as this also breaks the dkms build on Debian
with 'static' follows 'non static' declairation of
copy_file_range.
