10:09 p.m.
This is a second attempt at fixing the problem first attempted
in commit 2df8d99; basically undoing the fact that it was
reverted in commit 43cee32f, plus fixing two more issues: the
code in configure.ac has to EXACTLY match virnetdevbridge.c
with regards to declaring in6 types before using if_bridge.h,
and the fact that RHEL 5 has even more conflicts:
In file included from util/virnetdevbridge.c:49:
/usr/include/linux/in6.h:47: error: conflicting types for 'in6addr_any'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:206: error: previous declaration of 'in6addr_any' was
here
/usr/include/linux/in6.h:49: error: conflicting types for 'in6addr_loopback'
/usr/include/netinet/in.h:207: error: previous declaration of 'in6addr_loopback'
was here
The rest of this commit message borrows from the original try
of 2df8d99:
A fresh checkout on a RHEL 6 machine with these packages:
kernel-headers-2.6.32-405.el6.x86_64
glibc-2.12-1.128.el6.x86_64
failed to configure with this message:
checking for linux/if_bridge.h... no
configure: error: You must install kernel-headers in order to compile libvirt with QEMU or
LXC support
Digging in config.log, we see that the problem is identical to
what we fixed earlier in commit d12c2811:
configure:98831: checking for linux/if_bridge.h
configure:98853: gcc -std=gnu99 -c -g -O2 conftest.c >&5
In file included from /usr/include/linux/if_bridge.h:17,
from conftest.c:559:
/usr/include/linux/in6.h:31: error: redefinition of 'struct in6_addr'
/usr/include/linux/in6.h:48: error: redefinition of 'struct sockaddr_in6'
/usr/include/linux/in6.h:56: error: redefinition of 'struct ipv6_mreq'
configure:98860: $? = 1
I had not hit it earlier because I was using incremental builds,
where config.cache had shielded me from the kernel-headers breakage.
* configure.ac (if_bridge.h): Avoid conflicting type definitions.
* src/util/virnetdevbridge.c (includes): Also sanitize for RHEL 5.

(cherry picked from commit 70024dc9192038575ab5217ac35080b038e5b13e)
Done in one patch rather than a series for bisectability reasons
(as intermediate patches suffer from various problems on various
platforms), and because the intermediate patches include a revert,
but it is pointless to backport two patches where one undoes the
other. Intermediate patches include: 9a2f36e, c308a9a, 1bf661c,
d12c281, 2df8d99, 43cee32 (phew, that's a mouthful).
Conflicts:
configure.ac - skip the churn of all intermediate patches
src/util/virnetdevbridge.c - ditto
