[Pkg-zfsonlinux-devel] Bug#886453: [src:spl-linux] Fails to build for 4.14.0-3

[Antonio Russo]

Package: src:zfs-linux
Version: 0.7.4-1
Severity: grave

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Building spl with linux 4.14.0-3 fails, due to a missing dependency on libelf-dev.
(installing the package allows the build to proceed).

Additionally, objtool is missing from the kernel source [1]. For anyone reading this,
you can fake this by installing linux source and then linking the tools directory in.
I.e., apt-get source linux then

ln -s tools /usr/src/linux-headers-4.14.0-3-amd64

That's obviously just a hack until [1] is properly addressed.
