[Kristian Nielsen <knielsen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi wlad,

Can I get you to review the following one-liner? (Just the Cmake part).

The problem is that the code in 5.5 currently does not use fdatasync(),
falling back to fsync(). The fdatasync() is detected correctly by cmake, but
the HAVE_DECL_FDATASYNC symbol does not get defined so code does not use it.

Is adding HAVE_DECL_FDATASYNC to config.h.cmake the correct fix?

 - Kristian.
