On the s390 platform the build fails with the error below. Manage.c: In function 'Manage_subdevs': Manage.c:1502:5: error: passing argument 3 of 'fstat_is_blkdev' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror] fstat_is_blkdev(tfd, dv->devname, &rdev); ^ In file included from Manage.c:25:0: mdadm.h:1446:12: note: expected 'dev_t *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *' It was introduced by commit 0a6bff09 (mdadm/util: unify fstat checking blkdev into function). It needs to pass a type 'dev_t' argument to fstat_is_blkdev, but it passes a type 'unsigned long' argument. So use a temporary variable to fix this.
