The nfs-ganesha project has used lttng for quite some time to handle
tracing. Recently though, we decided to start building liburcu in as a
mandatory component, with an eye toward using it in certain areas.
Before this change, the code linked in liburcu-bp directly, but now we
just use liburcu. Unfortunately, when we enable tracepoints in the build
now, we get errors like this at link time:
--------------------8<----------------

--------------------8<----------------
nfs-ganesha defines _LGPL_SOURCE, and that makes lttng use the
redefinitions in tracepoint-rcu.h. If I disable _LGPL_SOURCE, it all
builds as expected.
I found a similar bug here:
https://bugs.lttng.org/issues/1156
Any thoughts on the right fix for this? We'd like to eat our cake and
have it too, so that we can have _LGPL_SOURCE defined, lttng enabled,
and the urcu flavor be determined at runtime.
Many thanks,
