[LU-3572] build failure seen in SLES SP2 server build

Mon, 15 Jul 2013 15:18:31 +0000

The recent large flood of landings in master have introduced a build failure in SLES11 SP2 server builds. errors look like:

CC [M] /home/bogl/lustre-release/lustre/mgs/mgs_handler.o
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
/home/bogl/lustre-release/lustre/mgs/mgs_handler.c: In function ‘mgs_init0’:

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make: *** [all] Error 2

Strongly suspect the only reason this hasn't been seen in regular review and master builds is that only client builds are done there for SLES, not server builds.

I believe this would hit any server builds done with newer gcc and kernel versions.

Rather then spend the time to precisely identify and back out a specific commit, I plan to submit a tiny fixup patch.
