[LU-9832] minor()/major()/makedev() maro use problems with newer gcc

Thu, 13 Sep 2018 18:33:27 +0000

building Lustre tools on Fedora 26 I am getting this warning now:

mcreate.c:82:13: error: In the GNU C Library, "minor" is defined
 by <sys/sysmacros.h>. For historical compatibility, it is
 currently defined by <sys/types.h> as well, but we plan to
 remove this soon. To use "minor", include <sys/sysmacros.h>
 directly. If you did not intend to use a system-defined macro
 "minor", you should undefine it after including <sys/types.h>. [-Werror]
                         dev = makedev(strtoul(optarg, NULL, 0), minor(dev));
