Assigned to Vlad; we will check it here.
In general please assign any compilation/ install / configuration issues 
to Vlad.

Regarding fixes that should be in RC5: Where do you check-in the fix? 
Note that we take ipath from git, so if the fix is not in the git you 
should create a patch file.
The patch should be under backports/<version> if its only issue of a 
specific distro/kernel, or under fixes if its a general fix.

The path for patches of OFED is:
