[PATCH 01/16] lib/raid6/test: fix build on distros whose /bin/sh is not bash

[Masahiro Yamada]

You can test raid6 library code from user-space, like this:

$ cd lib/raid6/test
$ make

The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default.
(or, you can change the default shell by setting 'SHELL' in Makefile)

Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because
this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to
bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.)

This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash.

I see lots of

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

and

warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support"

Replace it with portable '>/dev/null 2>&1'.

These should all use $(CC) rather than hardcode gcc.

Right, I had noticed this.

We often fall between
"let's fix this too while we are here"
vs
"do not do multiple things in a single patch"


If we replace gcc -> $(CC),
we also need to touch line 51 for consistency:

gcc -c -x c - >/dev/null && rm ./-.o && echo yes)

..., which is not our main interest now.

So, I leave it to a follow-up patch
if somebody has interest in it.

You can build a test program to test raid6 library code from user-space,

like this:

$ cd lib/raid6/test
$ make

The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default.

(or, you can specify the shell by passing SHELL=<shell> from command line)

Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because
this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to
bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.)

This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash.

I see lots of

/bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

and

warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support"

Haha, ok, no worries.
