_Description: Abort building OpenZFS on a 32-bit kernel?
 You are attempting to build OpenZFS against a 32-bit running kernel.
 .
 Although possible, building in a 32-bit environment is unsupported and
 likely to cause instability leading to possible data corruption. You
 are strongly advised to use a 64-bit kernel; if you do decide to
 proceed with using OpenZFS on this kernel then keep in mind that it is at
 your own risk.

_Description: Abort building OpenZFS on an unknown kernel?
 You are attempting to build OpenZFS against a running kernel that could not
 be identified as 32-bit or 64-bit. If you are not completely sure that
 the running kernel is a 64-bit one, you should probably stop the build.

_Description: Licenses of OpenZFS and Linux are incompatible
 OpenZFS is licensed under the Common Development and Distribution License (CDDL),
 and the Linux kernel is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2
 (GPL-2). While both are free open source licenses they are restrictive
 licenses. The combination of them causes problems because it prevents using
 pieces of code exclusively available under one license with pieces of code
 exclusively available under the other in the same binary. 
 .
 You are going to build OpenZFS using DKMS in such a way that they are not going to
 be built into one monolithic binary. Please be aware that distributing both of
 the binaries in the same media (disk images, virtual appliances, etc) may
 lead to infringing.
