It can be reproduced without sparse: [proski@dv xfsprogs-2.9.8]$ ./configure CC=/usr/bin/gcc checking for gcc... /usr/bin/gcc checking for C compiler default output file name... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no ... checking size of char *... 8 configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating include/builddefs config.status: creating include/platform_defs.h config.status: include/platform_defs.h is unchanged [proski@dv xfsprogs-2.9.8]$ make === include === rm -f xfs disk ln -s . xfs ln -s . disk === libxfs === /usr/bin/libtool --mode=compile /usr/bin/gcc -I. -g -O2 -DNDEBUG -DVERSION=\"2.9.8\" -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/local/share/locale\" -DPACKAGE= \"xfsprogs\" -I../include -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -funsigned-char -fno-strict-aliasing -Wall -c bit.c libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' gmake[1]: *** [bit.lo] Error 1 make: *** [default] Error 2 [proski@dv xfsprogs-2.9.8]$ Besides, replying on user installed libtool is asking for trouble. The proper way to use libtool is to include it into the package. It's recommended to use automake with libtool, but even if they are too automake-averse, there are still some rules how to use libtool properly. -- Regards, Pavel Roskin -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
