I see the same problem when trying to build current to of tree (mdadm-4.1-74-g5cfb79d): -> make raid6check ... gcc -Wall -Werror -Wstrict-prototypes -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -Wimplicit-fallthrough=0 -O2 -DSendmail=\""/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"\" -DCONFFILE=\"/etc/mdadm.conf\" -DCONFFILE2=\"/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf\" -DMAP_DIR=\"/run/mdadm\" -DMAP_FILE=\"map\" -DMDMON_DIR=\"/run/mdadm\" -DFAILED_SLOTS_DIR=\"/run/mdadm/failed-slots\" -DNO_COROSYNC -DNO_DLM -DVERSION=\"4.1-74-g5cfb79d\" -DVERS_DATE="\"2020-04-27\"" -DUSE_PTHREADS -DBINDIR=\"/sbin\" -o dlink.o -c dlink.c In function "dl_strndup", inlined from "dl_strdup" at dlink.c:73:12: dlink.c:66:5: error: "strncpy" output truncated before terminating nul copying as many bytes from a string as its length [-Werror=stringop-truncation] 66 | strncpy(n, s, l); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ dlink.c: In function "dl_strdup": dlink.c:73:31: note: length computed here 73 | return dl_strndup(s, (int)strlen(s)); | ^~~~~~~~~ cc1: all warnings being treated as errors removing the "-Werror" from the CWFLAGS setting in the Makefile then leads to: ... gcc -O2 -o raid6check raid6check.o restripe.o sysfs.o maps.o lib.o xmalloc.o dlink.o /usr/bin/ld: sysfs.o: in function `sysfsline': sysfs.c:(.text+0x2707): undefined reference to `parse_uuid' /usr/bin/ld: sysfs.c:(.text+0x271a): undefined reference to `uuid_zero' /usr/bin/ld: sysfs.c:(.text+0x2721): undefined reference to `uuid_zero' This might come from commit b06815989 "mdadm: load default sysfs attributes after assemblation"; mdadm-4.1 builds ok. Build tests were run on Fedora 32.
