belows patch is a first step towards a mntent.h we'll need it anyways later for mdadm support. it allows to compile util-linux-ng mount against klibc. due to the missing features there is a severe size difference: text data bss dec hex filename 1507 0 40 1547 60b /usr/lib/klibc/bin/mount 58526 2544 4552 65622 10056 ~/src/util-linux-ng/mount/mount
See, this is exactly the reason for having a minimal mount rather than fullblown util-linux-ng stuff...
When we're talking about making it 30 times bigger, there better be motivation for *everything*. It doesn't really make sense to have a minimal klibc and then compile full-fat utilities against it, at least not without providing alternatives.
But in the case of mount(8), there is a whole bunch of stuff that definitely are not needed in a klibc-style environment, especially now when NFS mountd stuff has moved into the kernel.
