Re: [Astlinux-devel] Astlinux base system

Thanks Michael.  I gave it a try and still have the same problem.  I had
problems building from that new source... it is missing "configure" and
broke then.  Rather than debug all that I just copied the new .c (and
accompanying new .h) files into my existing build tree.   So I got it to
build fine, but still had the same error message on ZFS.  There are a lot
of changes between the 1.4.1 version in our build and the 1.4.2 version at
github.  I did not look to see what all they did.
