While in theory I like the idea of compiler warnings always being fatal. In practice this causes problems when small harmless errors cause build failures for end users. To handle this I've updated the build system such that -Werror is only used when --enable-debug is passed to configure. This is how I always build when developing so I'll catch all build warnings and end users will not get stuck by minor issues.
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 don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
Documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://wiki.github.com/behlendorf/spl/
