lib/raid6/test: fix build on distros whose /bin/sh is not bash
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
You can build a user-space test program for the raid6 library code,
like this:

  $ cd lib/raid6/test
  $ make

The command in $(shell ...) function is evaluated by /bin/sh by default.
(or, you can specify the shell by passing SHELL=<shell> from command line)

Currently '>&/dev/null' is used to sink both stdout and stderr. Because
this code is bash-ism, it only works when /bin/sh is a symbolic link to
bash (this is the case on RHEL etc.)

This does not work on Ubuntu where /bin/sh is a symbolic link to dash.

I see lots of

  /bin/sh: 1: Syntax error: Bad fd number

and

  warning "your version of binutils lacks ... support"

Replace it with portable '>/dev/null 2>&1'.
