  Hi Vladimir,

  You'll find in attachment the compilation log file.

 I used the following command to generate the log file:

cd rpmbuild/SPECS
 rpmbuild -vv -bb ofa_kernel.spec --define 'configure_options
--with-core-mod --with-user_mad-mod --with-user_access-mod
--with-addr_trans-mod --with-mthca-mod --with-mlx4-mod --with-mlx4_en-mod
--with-cxgb3-mod --with-nes-mod ' --define 'build_kernel_ib 1' --define
'build_kernel_ib_devel 1' --define 'KVERSION 2.6.32.27' --define 'K_SRC
/net/direct/rhdata/jcl/linux-2.6.32.27' --define 'network_dir
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts' --define '_prefix /usr' --define
'__arch_install_post %{nil}' > log.txt 2>&1

thank you in advance for your help.
