I'm trying to compile e2fsprogs-1.42.5. Anyone tried it?
TIA

Unfortunately e2fsprogs is a moving target.
This problem appears to be cause by their build process, but I have not
really looked into it. The file is indeed broken, but it is generated
by their build process. I don't know why it is broken when you use
dietlibc, as the generating script is /bin/sh with gawk.

Maybe it's cause by there being a space in $CC?

No time to debug e2fsprogs at the moment, sorry.
