Re: Bug#636269: Acknowledgement (PowerPC Mac G4 can't boot after installing Sid)

Good that there are patches. I ran out of ideas.

Another option would be not to link against libext2fs, but copy some 
essential code out for ext2/3.
It is likely that more patches will be needed in future.

Like it is done with xfs and reiserfs.
