I was suspecting a similar problem as Kevin (BTW Kevin, the link above
points to build logs ;), but it turns out __linux simply isn't defined
in src/mntent_wrap.c, so those functions don't get defined. Dunno what a
better test for a Linux build would be (__linux is also used in a couple
other gentoo files).
