We were attempting to build util-linux 2.40.2 for MSYS2, based on the
source package of util-linux-2.40.2-2 from Cygwin [1].  We were scratching
our heads as to why it wasn't building tasksel for us, when it did in your
package.  I evenutally saw in the cygport that it tests for sys/syscall.h
and warns if it is not present.  I could not find a package that provides
this header.  Can you explain where it comes from, so that we can also
build util-linux?  (For now, I added a couple extra patches to
configure.ac to make it look for functions instead of syscall numbers [2])
