[Buildroot] mkfs.xfs without xfs library - not possible to create xfsfs

[Ossy]

Hi mailinglist,

I tried to create an xfs filesystem. Unfortunatly there is a library 
missing. I looked around in the configuration menu, but all I found were 
the xfsprogs. Under libraries/filesystem there is no xfslib either.

$ ./sbin/mkfs.xfs
./sbin/mkfs.xfs: can't load library 'libxfs.so.0'

Did I forget to include something?

Regards,
Marcus

The config.log of xfsprogs-3.0.3 includes a link to some e2fs library path:
...
configure:2544: checking for C compiler default output file name

-L/home/ossy/buildroot/buildroot-dev/output/build/
e2fsprogs-1.41.12/lib conftest.c  >&5
...

I do not expect an e2fs-library path in xfsprogs.config. Maybe a 
dependency to e2fs? Or is it just a bug?

I bumbed xfsprogs to 3.1.2 temporarily but this version failed to build.

Newer kernel versions and newer xfsprogs version fixes some issues for 
using xfs on arm devices.

The main problem remains. xfsprogs-3.0.3 does not build the libxfs.so.0.
I found a patch for xfsprogs-3.1 on gentoo. May be it would help to work 
around the problem and may be it is possible to bump to the newer version.

http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-fs/xfsprogs/
ebuild:
97 	src_install() {
98 	# TODO: there is a seldomly triggered parallel install problem where
99 	# libxfs.so doesn't get installed before rdeps causing the relink to 
fail
...

and:
xfsprogs-3.1.1-sharedlibs.patch
(Buildroot compiles the packages with a shared c-lib, too.)
