Leaving the #define >> in the header, even if it is it is harm, when I compile the audit-2.3.2 for a arm machine, whose linux kernel is 3.14; no compile error, but audit does not work; spend one day debug to find the root cause is the audit used MACH_ARMEB, but kernel replaced MACH_ARMEB with MACH_ARM grep WITH_ARMEB ./lib/machinetab.h -A10 #ifdef WITH_ARMEB _S(MACH_ARMEB, "armeb" ) _S(MACH_ARMEB, "armv5tejl") _S(MACH_ARMEB, "armv5tel") _S(MACH_ARMEB, "armv6l") _S(MACH_ARMEB, "armv7l") #endif removal of MACH_ARMEB will let the user find this issue when compile, not run. -Roy -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
