They are all build fixes exc= ept the =E2=80=9Cno hostname=E2=80=9D patch which removes the =E2=80=9Chostna= me=E2=80=9D command which comes from coreutils instead. No I didn't. Everything looked so different I just wasn't sure but your sugge= stion to just give it a go is a reasonable one. If it works then everything i= s fine. If not then someone needs to do something. From your comment I still need to keep the no hostname patch but modify it t= o just remove all lines related to hostname in the makefile. I think I can do= that. I will have a go at it and if it works then I will send in the patch. = If not then I will follow up on this email. Thanks for the guidance.
