47 major = fatal and deep changes
48 minor = typical release with new fetures
49 maint = maintenance releases; bug fixes only
50 bugfix = unplanned releases for critical/security bugs
54 <major>.<minor><suffix>
56 suffix = "devel" or "-rc<N>"

64 * use SUID_CFLAGS and SUID_LDFLAGS when you want to define special
65 compiler options for typical suid programs, for example:
67 ./configure SUID_CFLAGS="-fpie" SUID_LDFLAGS="-pie"
69 This feature is currently supported for chfn, chsh, newgrp,
70 write, mount, and umount.
75 Use --enable-static-programs[=LIST] configure option when you want to use
76 statically linked programs.
78 Note, mount(8) uses get{pw,gr}nam() and getpwuid() functions for
79 translation from username and groupname to UID and GID. These functions
80 could be implemented by dynamically loaded independent modules (NSS) in
81 your libc (e.g. glibc). These modules are not statically linked to mount(8)
82 and mount.static is still using dlopen() like dynamically linked version.
84 The translation won't be work in environment where is not installed the
87 For example normal system (NSS modules are available):
89 # ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/foo
90 LABEL=/mnt/foo on /mnt/foo type vfat (rw,uid=500)
92 and without NSS modules:
94 # chroot . ./mount.static -v -f -n -ouid=kzak /mnt/win
95 LABEL=/mnt/win on /mnt/win type vfat (rw,uid=kzak)
