Thanks, but it looks like a false alarm to me, for reasons below.

- eth_dev_attach_secondary is not defined in this patch, it's defined
  (and used) in the first patch.

- eth_dev_attach_secondary is actually defined; The report even shows
  it fails to build with gcc: the gcc build passes on my dev box.

Honestly, I seldom trusted the build reports from STV.
