Hi Richard,
Thank you !
I was not aware of 'supermin' before, but that definitely pointed me in the
right direction ...
Looking at the supermin packages, I was running the latest package, from
'ol8_appstream' repo ... not from the 'ol8_kvm_appstream' repo.
[root@ol-kvm-h01]# yum --showduplicates list supermin

When trying to obtain the header file you requested, I ended up installing the
supermin-devel package ... which warned me that it wanted to downgrade my
existing supermin package - so I let it ...

Complete!
After that downgrade of my supermin package to the latest one provided by the
ol8_kvm_appstream repo, supermin and libguestfs is now working fine !

Thanks, once again 😊
(maybe it was an incompatibility between the libvirt+el8.7 package and the
supermin+el8.8 package, which was resolved when the supermin package was
downgraded to the supermin+el8.7 package)
Regards,
Dennis

No I don't think so.
The main thing is to try to find out which part of init.c is crashing (and
later, why).

As I don't have OEL, could you try extracting the init binary. It's buried in
the supermin executable, so it's best to get it from the debug sources:
(1) debuginfo-install supermin
(2) rpm -ql supermin-debugsource | grep src/format-ext2-init-bin.h
(eg. it will print something like <blahblah>/src/format-ext2-init-bin.h )
(3) Attach the copy of <blahblah>/src/format-ext2-init-bin.h or send it to me
by email if it's too big for the list. You might have to compress it.
Rich.
