Corrected install dir of dell-smm-hwmon.conf.

dell-smm-hwmon.conf is in the wrong directory. It should be in /etc/modprobe.d instead of /etc/modules-load.d

i8kmon.service updated with asuglia suggestions. The "-d" parameter was for a previous version of i8kmon that supported such option. Today, "-d" parameter does not configure i8kmon anymore. So it is better to remove. The configuration options suggested came in handy to the systemd supervision of i8kmon process.

The i8kmon program doesn't support the "-d" option. You should fix the service configuration in order to solve the problem. Use the following configuration to fix it: [Unit] Description=i8kmon [Service] ExecStart=/usr/bin/i8kmon Restart=always RestartSec=5 [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target

The "build" of i8kutils 1.43-1 package is build() { cd $pkgname make } and "make" executes only one gcc command without fPIE parameter as below cc -g -O2 -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Wall -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-Bsymbolic-functions -Wl,-z,relro i8kctl.c i8k.h i8kctl.h -o i8kctl this build runs correctly at Archlinux 2017.04. So I repeat the error you received I could not reproduce, and I noted a reference to ffmpeg (as below) in your build that does not exist in i8kutils 1.43-1 package. ffmpeg version 3.3 Copyright (c) 2000-2017 the FFmpeg developers I think you need to explain better the environment of your compilation. And your compilation has nonexistent steps.

I could not reproduce the "build error" in Archlinux 2017.04 cloning repo from github. Could you please characterize better the steps you did?
