mtd-utils-1.1.0: build error

Hi;
	I have downloaded mtd-utils-1.1.0 and unfortunately bump into
build error as follows:

This one should go into the FAQ...., it's a commmon pitfall. I'm not sure 
if this is already fixed in 1.1.0, but at least in a recent GIT version 
you can add WITHOUT_XATTR=1 to the make command to compile without 
Posix ACL (which, IMHO, should be the default because I never came across 
any embedded system which uses Posix ACLs). 

Ciao, 

Peter

I agree, or at least something should be done to make the error 
clearer.

The MTD web site can be cloned from git://git.infradead.org/mtd-www.git

Feel free to send a patch which will add a FAQ entry about this.

I was thinking along the line of adding an #ifdef-something to the 
mkfs.jffs2.c which outputs a more informative #error.

I'll try to think up a patch.
