[PATCH] nscd: Eliminate compilation time dependency in the build output


2017-10-05  Florian Weimer  <fweimer@redhat.com>

	nscd: Eliminate compilation time dependency in the build output.
	* nscd/nscd_stat.c (STATDATA_VERSION)
	(STATDATA_VERSION_SELINUX_FLAG, STATDATA_VERSION_FLAGS)
	(STATDATA_VERSION_FULL): New macro definitions.
	(compilation): Remove.
	(struct statdata): Adjust version member.
	(send_stats): Set version from STATDATA_VERSION_FULL.
	(receive_print_stats): Verify version against STATDATA_VERSION_FULL.
