[lustre-discuss] Unable to compile client in Debian

To build on Andreas's comments - it is well understood that 2.10.x will not work with a 4.19 kernel. Newer kernel support was a primary driving factor into switching to 2.12.x for the LTS release branch. Once the work has completed on master we will backport it to b2_12.

    These problems may relate to using GCC8, which has a lot of new checks
    that cause old code to break.  You could try installing an older GCC,
    but that may not create modules compatible with your kernel.
    
    The GCC8 issues are being fixed on master, so you might want to try this
    again, but at the same time, master is still undergoing a lot of landings
    for the 2.13 release and not what I'd recommend for using in production
    until the final 2.13.0 release is finished.
    
    If you are using Debian, I'd suggest to download the Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
    kernel, which is 4.15 based.  This is built on a regular basis.
    
    Cheers, Andreas
