Unfortunately with -Wall the zfs sources spewed a quite unreasonable number
of warnings. Enough for me to get annoyed, go clean them all up, and add
-Werror.
I don't know how important it is to keep the files identical? It's not like
interfaces or anything have been changed: all the modifications are trivial
one-liners. Basically, it should still be possible to dump a new version of
the zfs code into our tree sometime down the line, and then go xfix up the
build warnings again (it didn't take that long). Doesn't that suffice? You
could even try getting GRUB guys to accept our build cleanups upstream (fat
chance given my previous experiences with them, I'll admit). ;-)
