I'm not wanting to go anywhere; it's simply the gcc that's installed on my system. And I'm merely providing the solicited feedback. However, if this util-linux can't be compiled with such an old gcc, it would be nice if ./configure would report that. The same for a minimum required kernel version. > 2.6.32 was 14-Dec-2009 and I don't see any nano versions beyond > linux-2.6.32.27 from 09-Dec-2010 $ uname -rv 2.6.32-71-generic #138-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 18 17:38:32 UTC 2014 Ubuntu Lucid is supported until April this year. Is it so strange to try and compile a new util-linux on such a system?
