Do you have a sense for what the cutoff should be for trying to get 984929
resolved vs. just uploading a workaround in the dkms-consuming packages
(e.g., openafs)?


I do not have a good workarounnd for the affected packages. The "add 
Depends: gcc" suggestion is a rather bad hack (that does the right thing 
only in some cases), especially after I found this rather easy (but 
Debian specific) solution in dkms.


The patch is probably not suitable for upstream inclusion, as the 
.kernelvariables file seems to be Debian specific. But a more general 
solution getting the CC value from Kbuild might be a useful upstream 
addition.

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for filing 984929.
Do you have a sense for what the cutoff should be for trying to get 984929
resolved vs. just uploading a workaround in the dkms-consuming packages
(e.g., openafs)?

Thanks,

Ben
