I'm not wanting to go anywhere; it's simply the gcc that's installed
on my system.  And I'm merely providing the solicited feedback.

However, if this util-linux can't be compiled with such an old gcc,
it would be nice if ./configure would report that.  The same for a
minimum required kernel version.

$ uname -rv
2.6.32-71-generic #138-Ubuntu SMP Thu Dec 18 17:38:32 UTC 2014

Ubuntu Lucid is supported until April this year.  Is it so strange to
try and compile a new util-linux on such a system?
