[GSOC] Building strace mpers 32

[deborah brouwer]

Hi!
My name is Deborah and I'm studying computer science at Thompson Rivers University in British Columbia, Canada.  I'm interested in GSOC.

Can you please help me build strace with mpers enabled?  After cloning the repository and running ./bootstrap and ./configure, make gives the error:

make

Unsuccessfully I tried to fix the error by manually creating a new directory "~/strace/src/linux/x86_64/asm" and adding errno.h from my own "/usr/include/asm-generic".  But this led to a chain reaction of additional make errors and I had to add additional headers to the newly created directory.  Finally, make complained that I was missing stat.h, but when I added this header I got an additional errors about the redefinition of 'struct stat'.  In strace/scr/linux/x86-64/asm_stat.h there is a comment that 
/*
 * This is a replacement for x32 <asm/stat.h> which
 * appears to be wrong in older kernel headers.
 */
So, I think I have taken the wrong approach.

Backing up, if I configure without mpers using ./configure --enable-mpers=no then I am able to build and install strace without any problems. However, I assume since enabling mpers is the default, this is something I need to fix.

I have looked at the archives of the mailing list and haven't been able to find the solution.

Can you please point me in the right direction to build strace with mpers enabled?
