Hmm... some old version compilers do not define __linux__ automatically
(e.g. or32-linux-gcc 4.5.1-or32-1.0rc1, which is the latest cross
compiler for openrisc, though).
If not define __linux__, the compiler will report error (u_quad_t is
not defined).
When we remove "#if defined(__linux__)" from "include/linux/coda.h",
the compiler will not report error, and 'cdev_t' will be defined as
'dev_t', not 'u_quad_t' (I guess, it is an implicit bug).
In "uapi/include/*", only "coda.h" has "#if defined(__linux__)", maybe
they want multiple OS can share the same "coda.h" file (at least, we
can not say it is a bad idea).
Neither suitable to define __linux__ in "include/linux/coda.h".
All together, I think:
the direct cause:
"uapi/include/coda.h" wants to share itself for multiple OS (so they need
check __linux__).
(in "uapi/include/*", only coda.h need check __linux__)
the root cause:
the compiler for linux should define __linux__ automatically, the latest
version of gcc has done, but some of the old version is not.
most of cross compilers have merged their code into gcc main tree, but
still left some (e.g. openrisc).
(at least, I can not build openrisc from gcc main tree correctly, but
most of others can)
some of latest cross compilers still use old version of gcc, (still not
define __linux__ automatically).
The related code in "uapi/linux/coda.h" is below:
-------------------------------code begin-------------------------------
73 #if defined(DJGPP) || defined(__CYGWIN32__)
