Hi @elcabaye, sorry I haven't seen this issue until today!

Are you still experiencing it? It's evidently some sort of configuration or environment problem.

Would it build if you extract the sources SF-120887-LS-14-OpenOnload-DKMS-Package.zip/onload-dkms-8.1.2.26-0.noarch.rpm/onload-8.1.2.26.dkms.tar.gz and run scripts/onload_build --kernel in dkms_source_tree? If not, it's worth comparing env when running kernel_compat.sh from within the build scripts vs. standalone. I suppose things like export CC from the build files might have caused it.

Hi @ivatet-amd,

Yes, I found a solution that appears to work for me. I prefixed the MAKE[0] lines with unset CC; and the builds worked.

I was attempting to create a branch to upload the change but was not permitted to.

Thanks so much for following up!
