(1) With gcc 4.5, cpp does not fold lines separated by a escaped
newline in the output. Therefore when nasd_rpcgen runs its rpc
definitions through cpp, what comes out contains syntax errors. The
parser then reports these with SIGSEGV. First fix the cpp plumbing to
use the cpp tool wrapper during build, and then have it use -traditional.
(2) On amd64, roughly half the build thinks it's actually i386. Patch
the other half to agree. This may not turn out to work, but it does
build instead of dumping out bizarre compile errors.
The original tar file has trailing base64 checksums, so I have
repackaged the tar file for just now.
This is release 1.3 of the Parallel Data Laboratory NASD
software prototype. The release includes the NASD drive
prototype, the NASD-NFS filemanager, simple client APIs, a
regression-testing suite, sample programs, a snapshot of
Cheops (which is one implementation of aggregation over
multiple NASDs), and some basic documentation.
