My hackish fix to get packages to build on Fedora 32 is to build with
"-fcommon" in the CFLAGS.  GCC-10 switches -fcommon to -f-nocommon, so this
just reverts the compiler behavior back to what we had with GCC 9 and
earlier.  Ideally, the fix is to backport the change in master to
openafs-stable-1_8_x.

&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; users on Arch Linux already have been running this git revision for th=
e<br>
&gt; last couple of weeks and so far I have not heard of any issues. So I<b=
r>
&gt; think the release is in good shape for Linux 5.6.<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; One thing I noticed though is that this version currently does not<br>
&gt; compile using GCC 10. On master there is a fix [1], however this needs=
<br>
&gt; some modifications to work on 1.8.x because the xstat code is a bit<br=
>
&gt; different. There is also a gentoo bug report about this [2]. Not sure<=
br>
&gt; if this is something to be solved before 1.8.6 final or afterwards. Fo=
r<br>
&gt; now, one can work around it by compiling with -fcommon [3].<br>
&gt; <br>
&gt; Cheers,<br>
