I created an issue for this: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLOUDSTACK-7959
How do we deal with the fact that the system vm build machines do not support this option? By removing this, the master system vms now build again. If this is required for RHEL 6, do we have to update our system vm build systems so we can pass this flag without it completely breaking the builds?
