Patch

The patch file package/util-linux/util-linux-001-sscanf-no-ms-as.patch
introduces a bug in libmount that causes /bin/mount to segfault most of the
time. As a result, the root filesystem does not get remounted read/write.
The reason it segfaults is that it passes a (char **) where sscanf expects a
(char *).

You could also use a different patch from
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/sys-apps/util-linux/files/util-linux-2.21.1-no-printf-alloc.patch?revision=1.2
If you do so, be careful! It's against 2.21.1. 2.22 introduced the function
mnt_parse_swaps_line() which also makes use of the %a modifier. You'd need to
enhance the patch to fix mnt_parse_swaps_line() as well.
