The previous patch pulled in a newer version of stat-time.h from gnulib, which tries to suppress some stupid gcc warnings (see <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54113>) by exploiting a feature of newer gcc. But we still aim to compile on RHEL 6.3, with gcc 4.4.6 (not to mention even older devel platforms like RHEL 5), which fails to build thanks to our development -Werror.

If you change this line, does it help?

Hi Eric,
I assume this was intended to suppress errors like this here:
CC libvirt_driver_storage_la-storage_backend.lo cc1: warnings being treated as errors In file included from ../../src/storage/storage_backend.c:59: ../../gnulib/lib/stat-time.h:55: error: no previous prototype for 'get_stat_atime_ns' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
Yep. And I need to mention that in my commit message.
unfortunately, even applying the patch above and rerunning bootstrap, configure, make didn't help and I'm still getting the errors ... the interesting thing is that pragma push seems to work... I am compiling on RHEL6.2, gcc 4.4.6
I'm still investigating why it worked for me. I may have had a stale config.cache interfering with what I posted vs. what I tested earlier. Look for a v2 soon.
I changed to AC_CACHE_CHECK and added -Werror but for some reason the CFLAGS won't get passed to the compilation ... configure:53231: checking lv_cv_gcc_pragma_push_works configure:53250: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:460: warning: expected [error|warning|ignored] after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' conftest.c:461: warning: expected [error|warning|ignored] after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' configure:53250: $? = 0 configure:53276: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5 conftest.c:460: warning: expected [error|warning|ignored] after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' conftest.c:461: warning: expected [error|warning|ignored] after '#pragma GCC diagnostic' -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen/Kind Regards Viktor Mihajlovski IBM Deutschland Research & Development GmbH Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Martin Jetter Geschäftsführung: Dirk Wittkopp Sitz der Gesellschaft: Böblingen Registergericht: Amtsgericht Stuttgart, HRB 243294
