The problem is that util-vserver is using #define __STRICT_ANSI__ when
it includes linux/types.h, which inhibits the definition of __u64,
since unsigned long long isn't in struct c89.
E2fsprogs is getting extended to support ext4, so it's referencing
64-bit fields, so it *is* going to be using __u64 which on 32 bit
systems turns into "unsigned long long".
So this isn't a e2fsprogs bug, it's a util-vserver FTBFS problem. And
the fix is to #undef __STRICT_ANSI__, at least around the #include
linux/types.h and to be safe, also around the #include of ext2fs/ext2_fs.h
For example, if you try the following program it compiles just fine
with "cc -o /tmp/foo /tmp/foo.c":
/*
* foo.c
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <linux/types.h>
#include <ext2fs/ext2_fs.h>
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
__u64 a = 1;
printf("hello, world #%lld\n", a);
exit(0);
}
If you add -D__STRICT_ANSI__, you'll get the same failure that you reported.
