[Pvfs2-users] Kernel Module - Compilation error

[Murali Vilayannur]

Hi Simon,
yeah, we have been seeing some of the autoconf tests failing on other
platforms (ppc64 etc) and we decided to remove the -Werror flag from
CFLAGS which is now causing problems even on x86(?), I think..
I think Pete is working on some fixes/workarounds for these...
Thanks,
Murali
