This appears to have worked (compiled) after I disabled both HUMFS and
EXTERNFS in the config. I will try launching an instance with this
executable in the morning and see how it performs.

However, I wasn't able to disable the EXTERNFS option through the regular
'make menuconfig ARCH=um' command. The option inside the regular menu
interface was already disabled (although the resulting .config file listed
it as enabled). I was forced to manually edit the .config file and comment
it out.

The really strange thing is that AFTER the compile the .config file has
EXTERNFS enabled! Also, the resulting executable agrees with the final
.config file. I've never seen an instance where compiling the kernel changes
options in the .config file. I've even verified that both HUMFS and HOSTFS
are disabled (to prevent these options from auto-enabling EXTERNFS).
However, I've confirmed this behavior twice.

As a result, the only real difference in configuration to fix the compile
was disabling HUMFS.
