If the problem is caused by missing definitions in the header file, then
that has nothing to do with the ISO, but with lvm/device-mapper itself.
It sounds like perhaps there was an API change and something is broken
there. Also, as I understand it from the comments against the bug, this
problem seems to only exist in the latest stable-rc, and the known
working versions are being reported for older versions from test
(test-0.25)? Maybe it's a version mismatch between the versions of lvm
and device-mapper?
