[ovs-dev] Bug#651798: Fails to build against Linux 3.1

[Ben Hutchings]

Package: openvswitch-datapath-source
Version: 1.2.2-2
Severity: grave

This module fails to build against Linux 3.1:

make[3]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-3.1.0-1-amd64'
/usr/src/linux-headers-3.1.0-1-common/arch/x86/Makefile:81: stack protector enabled but no compiler support

Since a version of Open vSwitch has been accepted for inclusion in
mainline Linux 3.3, perhaps it could be included in Debian kernel
packages starting with Linux 3.2 and then this binary package could be
removed.  However I don't know whether the mainline version is fully-
featured.
