Wed 04 Oct 2006 03:55:03 PM UTC, comment #2: Yes, that would be the ideal, but until someone (maybe me, maybe not me) figures that out, is it not better to at least build the rest of coreutils without having to hand-edit configure and Makefile's? |

This happens on at least NSK(OSS) and Interix, and there is a FIXME about it. Instead of failing, 'configure' should disable targets (e.g. 'df') that need to read the mount table, perhaps with a big warning message.

Thanks for the report. Considering the affected systems are not mainstream, I'm changing severity to "minor".
