Blast: we're not quite out of the woods yet.  

I have a reduced configuration, but which includes mount, which fails at 
linking with 
	undefined reference to `find_mount_point'
I'll have to try and figure out what's missing and where...  (the link 
failure is quite a confusing babble!)

It looks like libbb/find_mount_point is only linked in on options _DF, 
_MKFS_MINIX, _FSCK_MINIX, guess we need to add _MOUNT.  Try this patch, 
seems to work ok for me:
