Hi,

I want to update util-linux
version that is running is util-linux-2.10f-7
i downloaded  util-linux-2.11n-5.src.rpm from redhat (Rawhide)
and tried to compile it

it goes wrong on the following, does someone know how to fix this/what i'm
missing :

--

Your kernel and/or glibc is old or compiled against an old kernel that does
not know about pivot_root on sparc (I think, correct me if I'm wrong). You
really don't need it so just remove it from the makefile and compile, it
should work.
