coreutils on interix: mods to savewd.c and who.c

[Martin Koeppe]

Hi all,

I just tried to build coreutils (6.10pre20070907 from Debian) on 
interix.

The first thing I encountered is the "cannot read mounted file 
systems" issue. I changed configure.ac to only warn about that.
Nevertheless, compilation of df.c was automatically disabled, so 
apparently coreutils can handle this already.

The next thing is savewd.c, which requires errno value ESTALE to be 
there, but interix doesn't have that one. The third is who.c, which 
doesn't check for IPV6 (interix doesn't have IPV6). For these you'll 
find a patch attached.

Another issue: I first tried to configure with 
--enable-no-install-program=who, but nevertheless who.c is tried to be 
built. Shouldn't --enable-no-install-program also disable compilation 
of who.c? One might try to disable it, because it doesn't build :-)

After these patches the build went through, but "make check" doesn't:

Making check in man

/usr/bin/make  check-local

        (cd . && ls -1 *.x) | sed 's/\.x$//' | LC_ALL=C sort > $t;\
        (echo groups.1 uname.1 chroot.1 nice.1 who.1 users.1 [... 8<]
          | tr -s ' ' '\n' | sed 's/\.1$//')       \
          | LC_ALL=C sort -u | diff - $t || { rm $t; exit 1; };  \
        rm $t
16a17
> df
30a32
> hostid
make[3]: *** [check-x-vs-1] Error 1

df.c and hostid.c weren't tried to compile. I didn't look into the 
details of this one, but simply disabled the whole check for now.
