The line in question is: if (header->typeflag[0] != 'g') the "header" variable is defined above as: struct ustar_header *header = (struct ustar_header *)buffer; and "struct ustar_header" is defined in "tar.h", which is included above. uclibc ships its own tar.h. Ours should take precedence (because we use ""), but perhaps there is something funny going on in the build settings. I can't find any interesting changes in v2.2.1..v2.2.2, though. Can you double-check that v2.2.1 still builds, and if so try to use "git bisect start v2.2.2 v2.2.1" to find the responsible commit? -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
