-Subject: [PATCH] Remove duplicated variable declaration
-
-When building on Fedora 32, following error is observed:
-
-...
-/usr/bin/ld: ../eppic/libeppic/libeppic.a(eppic_stat.o):/builddir/build/BUILD/kexec-tools-2.0.20/eppic/libeppic/eppic.h:474: multiple definition of `lastv';
-../eppic/libeppic/libeppic.a(eppic_func.o):/builddir/build/BUILD/kexec-tools-2.0.20/eppic/libeppic/eppic.h:474: first defined here
-...
-
-And apparently, the variable is wrongly declared multiple times. So
-remove duplicated declaration.
