Is Samba using gnulib? If not, anything done in gnulib will not help.
It seems gnulib could easily provide a fstab.h replacement and its

Building all modules leads to this warning:
gnulib-tool: warning: module obstack depends on a module with an incompatible
license: exit
I took a look at this. Here is the 'exit' module definition:
,
| Description:
| exit() function: program termination.

| Files:

| Depends-on:
| stdli
There is also this warning:
gnulib-tool: warning: module obstack depends on a module with an incompatible
license: exitfail
The exitfail.h is:
extern int volatile exit_failure;
and exitfail.c is:
#include
#include "exitfail.h"
#include
int volatile exit_failure = EXIT_FAILURE;
Is this wort
Jim, the utime module says:
Notice:
This module is obsolete. It can be removed on 2010-01-01.
Why is it obsolete? Should we remove it now? The code looks useful to
me, but I may be missing something. I cannot find anything in NEWS or
doc/posix-functions/utime.texi to explain this either.

Sounds good to me.

Solaris 9 is still a live target (and even Solaris 8 is still reasonably

Hi Simon,
Both are good suggestions.

Fine with me. Please go ahead.

Also fine with me. At the same time, in doc/posix-functions/exit.texi,
it's appropriate to change "Gnulib module: exit" t
Here's my attempt at describing the third "mixed" approach to Gnulib
sources. Is it ok?

You can try to use the 'mountlist' module. Unlike the concept of /etc/fstab,
this module is ported even to exotic platforms, from Solaris and Cygwin
