[OpenAFS-devel] problems compiling openafs modules on Debian linux

[Paul E Rybski]

HI Derrick,
	I'll check out the patch and see how well that works.  It also
turns out that I was slighly mistaken with the version of openafs that I
was having the signal.h problem with.  It turns out that 1.3.50 doesn't
have that problem but 1.2.10 does.  I was using openafs 1.2.10 because the
modules came as a nice debian source package that would be built into a
.deb file and that's the version that I'd like to use if possible. Both
versions have the mach_apicdef.h problem, however.

From 1.2.10's config.log, here's what seems to be the problem:

configure:4866: checking for signal.h
configure:4876: gcc-2.95 -E  conftest.c >/dev/null 2>conftest.out
In file included from /usr/include/asm/sigcontext.h:4,
                 from /usr/include/bits/sigcontext.h:28,
                 from /usr/include/signal.h:326,
                 from configure:4872:
/usr/include/linux/compiler.h:17: warning: `__attribute_used__' redefined
/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:195: warning: this is the location of the
previous defi
nition
configure: failed program was:
#line 4871 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
#include <signal.h>
