I'm currently facing a compile problem with gcc 4.3.0 at undi.c
Looking at the generated code, it seems gcc is inlining _undi_call into
_undi_call_silent, thus making rm_undi_call be defined twice.
Using gcc option -fno-inline also fixes this, but then the compiler won't
do any kind of inlining, even "good" ones, so this fix seem to do the right
thing.
Thank you for reporting this. Etherboot 5.4 is obsolete and no longer
maintained. Would you consider upgrading to gPXE instead?
Yes, but right now most Qemu and KVM installs today are using Etherboot
instead, as upstream Qemu and KVM carries Etherboot pxe images when
installed.
The problem fixed by Glauber was found while we were doing the packaging
of Etherboot for Fedora[1]. The problem is not critical, as probably
there are not no users of the packaged Etherboot images on Fedora yet,
except for the three or four PXE images used by Qemu and KVM.
We plan to first properly package the same Etherboot images that are
used right now by Qemu and KVM, and then moving to gPXE (as moving to
gPXE would need more testing work to make sure it works properly under
Qemu and KVM).
