Thoughts? > One thing that Chris brought up on IRC. for /tools, mount & umount now both depend on libblkid (from e2fsprogs) or libvolume_id (from udev). A quick way to just get blkid out of e2fsprogs: ./configure --prefix=/tools && make -C lib/blkid && make -C lib/blkid install. Then util linux is just: ./configure --prefix=/tools && make -C mount mount umount && make -C text-utils more && cp them into /tools.
