Brian Behlendorf 97fd6a07c2 Fix HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK check for gcc-4.1.2
Older versions of gcc (gcc-4.1.2) will treat an 'incompatible
pointer type' as a warning instead of an error.  This results
in HAVE_FS_STRUCT_SPINLOCK being defined incorrectly.  This
failure mode was observed when using a RHEL6 2.6.32 based kernel
under RHEL5.5 which contains the old version of gcc.  To resolve
the issue the warning is explicitly promoted to an error.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and dont want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.

To build packages for your distribution:

$ ./configure
$ make pkg

Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
