Subject: unable to build util-linux-2.17 on glibc-2.10 due to fallocate64

glibc-2.10 has an error in it where it forgot to export the fallocate64 symbol 
for 32bit users.  the current util-linux configure script does a link test for 
fallocate, but this is the same thing as the fallocate code which uses a bunch 
of defines when including the prototypes and so it ends up linking to 
fallocate64.  long story short, util-linux fails to build on 32bit glibc-2.10 
systems.  any ideas on how to address this ?  a link time test for fallocate64 
would suck as it only gets used on 32bit linux hosts ...
