Any idea how to fix that?
I really think libpayload shouldn't be built including the system
header files and that it should provide its own. That or completely
rely on system header files which brings in its own issues. Build with
-nostdinc and provide all the necessary bits that are required in
libpayload proper by way of its own header files.
I'm not sure what others think, but it means libpayload is in control of itself.
I have a temporary fix on its way. I'm not happy with it, but it
should avoid the issues you and others are seeing (including myself).
Nice. Could you push it to Gerrit for review or as an easy way for
others to get/test/use it.
I’d very much like Patrick to comment on this, as he or Secunet is in my
opinion the defacto libpayload maintainer. Though he does not seem to be
online currently. Maybe he is on vacation.
Thanks,
Paul
