[PVFS-users] RE: Error in compiling pvfs-kernel with gcc-3.4.X

[E. Otto]

Hi,
In an attempt to recompile pvfs-kernel with gcc-3.4.X, I got a bunch of 
conflicting type error from "krwsemaphore-spinlock.c" and the prototype
definitions in rwsemaphore.h. Did any one encounter this before and
is there a quick fix? The sample errors are shown below: The error
occurs for all functions enclosed in the FASTCALL() macro.
