[Clfs-support] Problem compiling e2fsprogs

[Nazmul Alam]

Andrew ,

Thank you. I will try them out.

There were at least two file which uses utime.h, one is debugfs another is
misc.c (probably).

I found something interesting, kind of a hint, while searching for solution
to a error (gcc). It suggested that somewhere in build process the LD flag
is set to its default setting. I was wondering, if anything like this is
happening in e2fsprogs compilation.

Thanks again,
