Intel needed to build Lustre for its non-self-hosted accelerator version of the Phi processor. It turns out that the OS for that is packaged in some weird non-standard way. Intel added support into Lustre to rpm package it. While those additions use words like "cross_build", making it sound like it might be generic, it really isn't. All of that is really messy and non-standard, and it is making far too difficult to package Lustre for normal rpm-based distributions. Hopefully this won't be too much of a problem for Intel, because Phi processors are now self-hosting. This is in large part a revert of commit 426194de: "LU-2784 build: Provide RPMs build for Xeon Phi(TM) card" Change-Id: Ie5d655f1da3e17eae6edebb5f4d6fd6e7d58811f Signed-off-by:Christopher J.
