With this patch, you can define autotool options when you
need to generate build-system. For example:
$ AM_OPTS="--copy" ./autogen.sh

8 bit characters on the Linux console lead to input corruption (e.g.
German umlauts). This is easily reproducable by inserting a login name with
umlaut and typing backspace afterwards.
agetty supports tty parity, which leads to getty treating these characters
as a 7bit char with set parity.
This patch by Samuel Thibault adds a new option -8 which disables parity
detection for ttys not used for serial logins.
| Note: With this patch, 8bit characters are just silently dropped (that's
| the expected getty behavior), this is quite neat since you then don't
| even need to backspace your 8bit characters :)

a prio argument is given for it, since this will be ignored.

mkswap(8) enforces to use v0 swap format when pagesize > 16kB.
(use case might be ppc64 with CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES).
As version 0 swap is not supported anymore by recent kernels, the
behaviour in this case is rather strange.
Here is a testcase:
for i in 4 8 16 32 64; do mkswap -p `expr $i \* 1024` ./swap.file; done

Fix inconsistency between kernel profiling and readprofile.
The range of kernel profiling is between _stext and _etext,
and readprofile tries to extract profiling for all the symbols in
/boot/System.map-2.6.16.11-7-ppc64 from /proc/profile, but there
are more symbols in /boot/System.map-2.6.16.11-7-ppc64 than those
between _stext and _etext.

Compiling utils fail when disable NLS with the --disable-nls switch.
"mkfs.c:46: error: 'LC_ALL' undeclared (first use in this function)"
It is due to a missing locale.h header : When enabling NLS, nls.h
includes libintl.h, which in turn includes locale.h. When disabling NLS,
libintl.h isn't anymore included nor locale.h, which is needed for the
setlocale() calls.

currently the code in fdisk which changes partition types is a bit fragile ...
it assumes the partition type succeeded instead of checking the user input or
for errors. ive tweaked the sub functions to return a value indicative of the
functions' success and fdisk now checks/reports based on that.

This patch add arch(1) back to util-linux source code tree, but the
command is not installed by defautl.
For more details see "./configure --help".
The arch command is deprecated in favor of "uname -m" (coreutils). The
latest (6.9+) version of coreutils also supports arch(1) as an alias
to "uname -a". Please, if you need arch(1) use the coreutils
implementation.

loop back mounting emits two system calls: mount and mlockall.
mount is obviously needed. mlockall is needed for encryption.
As the result both CAP_SYS_ADMIN and CAP_IPC_LOCK are needed
to do loopback mounting.
The problem is that CAP_IPC_LOCK is always needed through my
command doesn't need encryption.
With the following patch, mount calls mlockall only when
encryption is needed.
