The cleanest way to do this is to set AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS = --silent. However,
AM_LIBTOOLFLAGS is not honored by automake-1.9.6-2.1 which is what I have
been using. To cleanly handle this I am updating to automake-1.11-3 which
is why it looks like there is a lot of churn in the Makefiles.
We need dependent packages to be able to include zfs_config.h to
build properly. This was partially solved previously be using
AH_BOTTOM to #undef common #defines (PACKAGE, VERSION, etc) which
autoconf always adds and cannot be easily removed. This solution
works as long as the zfs_config.h is included before your projects
config.h. That turns out to be easier said than done. In particular,
this is a problem when your package includes its config.h using the
-include gcc option which ensures the first thing included is your
config.h.
To handle all cases cleanly I have removed the AH_BOTTOM hack and
replaced it with an AC_CONFIG_HEADERS command. This command runs
immediately after zfs_config.h is written and with a little awk-foo
it strips the offending #defines from the file. This eliminates
the problem entirely and makes header safe for inclusion.
All these errors are now either addressed in a gcc-* topic branch, or
in whatever branch the original warning was introduced by (i.e. I fixed
the bug which just went unnoticed until now due to the compiler flags)
