Util-linux 2.21 Release Notes
=============================
The udev compatible output (-o udev) from blkid(8) is deprecated. Udev
links directly to libblkid now.
Release highlights
------------------
chcpu(8):
- this NEW COMMAND can modify the state of CPUs, enable or disable CPUs,
scan for new CPUs, change the CPU dispatching mode of the underlying
hypervisor, and request CPUs from the hypervisor (configure) or return CPUs to
the hypervisor (deconfigure).
prlimit(1):
- this NEW COMMAND is very smart command line interface to prlimit(2)
syscall and allows to get and set a process resource limits. It's much
more flexible than old shell built-in ulimit(1).
login(1):
- the command has been rewritten, features:
* strictly PAM-only, another authentication method is unsupported
* compatible with Suse login(1)
* supports /etc/login.defs(5) config file
losetup(8):
- the command has been rewritten, features:
* requires kernel >= 2.6
* supports 64bit ioctls only
* losetup -a does not require root permissions (kernel >= 2.6.37)
* uses new /dev/loop-control kernel API (kernel >= 3.1)
* supports new command line option --partscan to enable kernel partition
table parser
mount(8), umount(8):
- new pure libmount based mount(8) and umounts(8) commands are available,
this experimental implementation could be enabled by --enable-new-mount
agetty(8):
- supports new command line options --nohints to disable hints about Num,
Caps and Scroll Locks
- supports new command line option --remote to add a hostname to the
login(1) command line
dmesg(1):
- supports new command line options --file to read the log from a file rather
than from kernel buffer
fallocate(8):
- supports new command line options --punch-hole to punch holes in the file
findmnt(8):
- supports alternative location of the fstab file
ipcrm(8):
- supports new command line option --all to remove all resources
lscpu(1):
- supports new command line options --all, --offline and --online to list
all, offline or online CPUs
- supports s390 topology description (polarization, books, ...)
partx(8):
- supports partitioned loop devices (note that since kernel 3.2 partitioned
loop devices are usable everywhere (including Fedora))
wipefs(8):
- allows to zap partition tables
- supports new command line option "--type <list>" to wipe only specified
filesystems, RAIDs or partition table types
libblkid:
- provides new function blkid_do_wipe() to remove all signatures from the
given block device. This new functionality is used in wipefs(8) and
mkswap(8). It's recommended to use this function in mkfs-like programs.

You asked for it :-)
I tried to cross-compile the package under Buildroot and got following error:
checking whether __progname is defined... yes
checking whether the target supports thread-local storage... yes
configure: error: in `buildroot/output/build/util-linux-2.21':
configure: error: cannot run test program while cross compiling
Could you disable tests for cross-compilation case?
Regards,
Yegor
