Hmm is that what killed my e2sfprogs build? This looks like a bug in
the check:
195 memset(data, 0, sizeof(struct test_private_data));
196 data->magic = EXT2_ET_MAGIC_TEST_IO_CHANNEL;
197 if (test_io_backing_manager) {
198 retval = test_io_backing_manager->open(name, flags,
199 &data->real);
200 if (retval)
201 goto cleanup;
202 } else
203 data->real = 0;
test_io.c: In function 'test_open':
test_io.c:198: error: expected identifier before '(' token
make[2]: *** [test_io.o] Error 1

Note that it will probably stumble on a bona-fide
open-create-with-no-mode later ;-)
