I found this in ls-mntd-fs.m4:
if test -z "$ac_list_mounted_fs"; then
AC_MSG_ERROR([could not determine how to read list of mounted file systems])
# FIXME -- no need to abort building the whole package
# Can't build mountlist.c or anything that needs its functions
fi
So in theory, I could edit it here, yes?
