Part of the automated testing involves building the source on Debian Lenny which ships an ancient version of automake (1.10.1). Historically, this has caused a non-fatal warning about AM_SILENT_RULES not being defined. But when the autogen.sh script was updated to use autoreconf the warning became fatal. configure.ac:31: warning: macro `AM_SILENT_RULES' not found in library autoreconf: running: /usr/bin/autoconf --force configure.ac:34: error: possibly undefined macro: AM_SILENT_RULES If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. To resolve this build issue the call to AM_SILENT_RULES has been wrapped by m4_ifdef(). This prevents the macro from being expanded on platforms where it's undefined.

The Solaris Porting Layer (SPL) is a Linux kernel module which provides many of the Solaris kernel APIs. This shim layer makes it possible to run Solaris kernel code in the Linux kernel with relatively minimal modification. This can be particularly useful when you want to track upstream Solaris development closely and don’t want the overhead of maintaining a large patch which converts Solaris primitives to Linux primitives.
To build packages for your distribution:
$ ./configure
$ make pkg
To copy the kernel code inside your kernel source tree for builtin compilation:
$ ./configure --enable-linux-builtin --with-linux=/usr/src/linux-...
$ ./copy-builtin /usr/src/linux-...
Full documentation for building, configuring, and using the SPL can be found at: http://zfsonlinux.org
