Package: spl-dkms
Version: 0.6.5.8-2~bpo8+2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
spl-dkms fails to build with grsecurity enabled kernel.
Not sure if this is a bug in spl or a grsec feature.
The kernel is available from jessie backports:

dpkg -l | grep grsec
ii  gradm2                             3.0~201408301734-1
amd64        Administration program for the grsecurity2 RBAC based ACL
system
ii  linux-grsec-base                   10~bpo8+1
 all          Linux image base package, grsec featureset
ii  linux-headers-4.7.0-1-common-grsec 4.7.8-1+grsec201610161720+1~bpo8+1

here is the configure output when I manually try to build the spl module:

Building module:
cleaning build area....(bad exit status: 2)
make KERNELRELEASE=4.7.0-1-grsec-amd64....(bad exit status: 2)

Any hint on how to solve that ?
