  which version of e2fsprogs are you referring to?  the current 1.41.5
version, or the newer one?  i know i'm sounding tedious, but it's been
literally *weeks* since i've been able to build e2fsprogs on my F12
system from the OE dev checkout, and it's the exact same error every
single time and i am fresh out of ideas.

Stop.

  is this the error that upgrading to 1.41.9 is supposed to fix?
clearly, this is some sort of build error where a build *flag* is
being misinterpreted as a make *target*.
