losetup: try to set up loop readonly if EACCES
Currently mounting/losetup an image fails if it is accessable readonly.
There are no problems if it is a file on a local filesystem.
It seems only to happen if it is a NFS mounted image, which is
read-write in permission but with root_squash option.
set_loop checks only for EROFS to retry open with readonly mode,
but in this case we get EACCES.

ldattach: don't compile for non-linux systems
There is just ldattach which doesn't compile because line disciplines are not

hwclock: remove x86_64-specific bogon
I was puzzled why "hwclock" wrongly reported my x86_64 sytem didn't
support RTC update interrupts. Bogus #ifdef, that's why ... added
by the 2.11y patch (from 2.11t). Probably this whole #ifdef should
just vanish ... if the kernel rejects UIE_ON, the program ought to
just cope with it.

mount: mtab created multiple times with -a option
When /etc/mtab does not exist and mount is called with -a, for every
mount point that is mounted a root-fs record is added to mtab. This is
because get_mtab_info() sets the flag mtab_does_not_exist to 1 when it
doesn't find /etc/mtab. However, if it actually finds /etc/mtab, the
variable is not reset to 0. So on every subsequent call to
get_mtab_info() (as it is the case when mounting several mount points
with the -a option), mount will think that /etc/mtab does not exist,
even if it was created in the meantime by mount itself.

losetup: remove unnecessary minor number check
The latest kernel supports partitioned loop devices (kernel commit 476a4813cfddf7cf159956cc0e2d3c830c1507e3). Unfortunately, this change
makes minor numbers useless, because mirror number does not match with
loop device name (loop<N>).
Fortunately, losetup code does not depend on minor numbers.
ipcs: ungettextize the spacing of the table headers
It makes no sense to allow translators to adjust the spacing when
they cannot adjust the spacing of the actual data too. Adjusting
such spacing is not really a translator's task.

scriptreplay: new implementation is out-of-sync
Reproduction steps:
1. Run "script -t 2>timing".
2. When the prompt comes up, hit return.
3. New prompt. Wait several seconds, then type "true" and hit return.
4. Repeat (3) as desired, then exit scripted shell.
5. Run "scriptreplay timing".
You'll find on the replay that, rather than waiting several seconds
between the prompt and true, the wait will actually occur after the
first "t" of true.

umount: improve "-d" option for autoclear loops
The new loop auto-destruct feature detaches automatically loop devices
when no longer used. This means they are detached with the umount()
call. But when we call umount with -d, del_loop() is called and fails
because the ioctl() returns ENXIO. We have to check for autoclear
loop devices rather than blindly call del_loop().
