Subject: unable to build util-linux-2.17 on glibc-2.10 due to fallocate64

glibc-2.10 has an error in it where it forgot to export the fallocate64 symbol
for 32bit users. the current util-linux configure script does a link test for
fallocate, but this is the same thing as the fallocate code which uses a bunch
of defines when including the prototypes and so it ends up linking to
fallocate64. long story short, util-linux fails to build on 32bit glibc-2.10
systems. any ideas on how to address this ? a link time test for fallocate64
would suck as it only gets used on 32bit linux hosts ...

blah, wrong mailing list. auto-complete picked this instead of the
util-linux mailing list on me.
