FYI...build "ok", thought some warnings, annoyances in 2.32...

[L A Walsh]

Everything seemed to build, though with warnings and some
annoyances.

It _seems_ most of the warnings are of low importance.

At the annoyance level: of the 8 utils I tried to build statically,
0 worked: "complete static linking is impossible in this configuration".
I wonder if this is a 'SUSE-ism'?

(The problem of static building isn't unique to utils-linux, FWIW...)

Thanks!

This is usually glibc issue where for some stuff (like work with
users) is required modules, etc.

 --disable-assert right? :-)
