Bug 622976 – sys-kernel/spl-0.6.5.10 fails to build with GCC 7.1.0

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Patrick McMunn 2017-06-29 03:00:26 UTC]

spl 0.6.5.10 (and possibly other versions) fail to build with GCC 7.1.0. One possible solution is to remove the -Werror compiler flag which causes a warning to be treated as an error. Another solution is to apply commit https://github.com/zfsonlinux/spl/commit/4f8e643afe9d8cc558566e1dda05ef597cb2526e which prevents the warning from occurring.

Reproducible: Always

Hey Patrick,

Thanks for reporting. Currently Richard Yao and I are discussing which solution to go with. I think we most likely will apply the patch that's in upstream (Which seems to be also what you have attached).

Thanks!

Hey Patrick,

I just pushed zfs 0.6.5.11 to the tree. This upstream release includes GCC 7.1 build fixes. Please try that version (in about 30 minutes+) and let us know if it works for you.
