Q: Why do I get this compile error when building generic_cluster in Element 2.3.3? It complains about confd, but i'm not even using confd.

A: You - or someone else - probably did compile for a ref_platform that used confd earlier, on the same system. Dump your environment with "env" and see whether CONFD_VERSION is defined. If so, undefine it with "unset CONFD_VERSION" and the make should now proceed.
