I found this as well. This has been fixed (your solution was correct) and
should be picked up by the next supscan

Yep an MI thing due to very recent changes. I saw changes to these files go
by on source-changes today so again this has been fixed.
>3) When linking, I get

ok the checkinodes() thing has also been fixed (early hours of yesterday
morning). If you cannot wait just remove the references to checkinodes or
create a dummy function. checkinodes() is a debug function that should not be
called
from shell_shell.c but the refs go by me in the recent grand commital.
Do you have the line
option GENERIC
in your config file ? If not try adding it. The mountroot() stuff from stubs.c
should only be included if GENERIC is defined.
Cheers,
Mark
