Maybe you have some statically linked binaries on your system. It's best to
find all programs using the broken flock emulation and re-compile/re-link
them. But if you just want to get rid of the message you can change #if 1
to read #if 0 in the locks.c file in the kernel.

The other option is that some programs might be using the fcntl() commands
that trigger the message. This may be perfectly OK and not a broken flock()
call at all. In that case just disabled the message.

P.S. Exactly what programs get mentioned in the message?

Cheers.
