After building parted-2.2 (and also parted-2.3) "make check" fails
unless I run it as root. The cause appears to be that mkswap is not
on my $PATH (it lives in /sbin).
Running "PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:${PATH} make check" succeeds, but
several tests are skipped because they have to be run as root.
I suggest that the book should specify running "make install" as root.
At the very least it should warn that running as a normal user causes
spurious errors and skipped tests.
(This is on LFS 6.5.)
