It captures my feeling at having to wade through making 18 fixes before I could compile the project on current Fedora.

I see.

In general all patches should pass ./devtools/check-git-log.sh and ./devtools/checkpatches.sh
(which requires path to Linux kernel checkpatches.pl).

Can you help me understand why adding CRLFs at 80 cols on the gcc errors I pasted helps anything at all?  The patches actually fix problems in the code.

Seeing GCC errors which patch fixes is useful to see. Yes, I agree that it is real problem in the code.

If you don't care about Coverity, let me know and I will register this project there and send you fixes when I have time.

dpdk is registered at Coverity and we get reports from time to time.

In fact strlcpy() should be used.
Fair enough.  Last time I looked it wasn't in glibc but seems it is now.

As far as I know it is not in glibc, but dpdk has internal fallback if the function
is not available from external libs.
