It depends on number of changes during -rc releases. I'm going to use
util-linux-ng in Fedora 8 and Fedora Feature Freeze is on 27 August.
Next week I'd like to test basic functionality with more architectures
and distributions.

Seems good. Thanks.

Yes, my patch, but I'm still not sure if 4096 sector size is
really and correctly supported by others tools and kernel.
Does anyone have a better knowledge about this?

No clue, but it seems too paranoid. I have never seen any bug report
for this thing.

Already fixed.

There is updwtmp(3) in glibc2, so we needn't PATH_WTMPLOCK for
standard linux distributions.
Unfortunately, the login-utils/simpleinit.c doesn't use
updwtmp(3)... added to my TODO list. Thanks.

Hmm.. util-linux hwclock is standardly distributed for ppc and I have
never seen any bug report.

The clock-ppc.c file is already in util-linux sources, but we don't
compile this file.
