Hmrph.
Suspect it's time I move this over to bugzie then :) rough action I've been trying mkdir /home/bharring/tmp /mnt/utmp mount -t unionfs -o dirs=/home/bharring/tmp=rw:/=ro,delete=whiteout none /mnt/utmp chroot /mnt/utmp #within jump into any source and try compilation, segfaulting Only difference in my mount options is the whiteout addition, which in poking in the directory after attempting it without the whiteout option (and having it work), looks to be creating whiteout files also... ~harring
