Thanks for the quick response! I have to admit that I've gotten more bang for the buck than I ever hoped for. The background to my naive question is that we use mountlist as an optional feature (and we don't support Windows), but due to AC_MSG_ERROR failing the build, Termux had to patch our build system. I didn't know the FIXME was there because you support Windows... Anyway, can AC_MSG_ERROR be removed now? P.S. I can't pass up this opportunity to thank you for all the work you put into the infrastructure we all take for granted. People like you and Paul Eggert (I'm singling him out because I just saw his name in the post next to this one) are living legends to me. And thanks to all the other contributors I haven't mentioned by name, of course. All the best, Yury
