Hi All,

The fedora kernel does not have the perfmon2 patches in, but the user
space perfmon2 code is being built in the Red Hat build system. The
Red Hat build system on x86-64 for fc6 builds with the
options for CFLAGS:

-O2 -g -pipe -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -fexceptions -m64 -mtune=nocona

The effect of these options is that the compilation on the Red Hat
build system is a bit picker.  The rules.mk were modified to include
the RPM_BUILD_OPTS. There are a couple places in pfmon and libpfm
where the ignoring of the return values would cause the build process
to abort.  I have put the source RPM that build on FC6 at
http://people.redhat.com/wcohen/perfmon2/, but these should be
available soon through the regular fedora download sites.

In libpfm the following patch makes the compiler happy:
        libpfm-3.2-showreginfo.patch

In pfmon the following patch does a similar thing:
        pfmon-fortify.patch

Comments on the SRPMs?

-Will
