Description
The configure script seems to work correct.
In config.h the variables
STAT_STATVFS STAT_STATVFS64 STAT_STATFS2_FS_DATA STAT_READ_FILSYS
are undefined.
In this case there is an error compiling mc:
mountlist.c: In function 'get_fs_usage': mountlist.c:1442: error: 'fsd' undeclared (first use in this function)
There IS a bug in defines in the function get_fs_usage(...)

Replying to zyxmon:
There IS a bug in defines in the function get_fs_usage(...)
Yes. But get_fs_usage() is get from gnulib almost as is (olnly trivial formatting was made). You can compare yourself the gnulib code and mc code.
So... you found a bug in gnulib. Please repost this bug to gnulib mailing list. Thanks!

I have fixed crosscompiling mc-4.8.1 by adding
fu_cv_sys_stat_statfs2_bsize=yes
to configuration script. May be this solution will help in other cases.
Gnu coreutils use the same get_fs_usage function. The issue is (quote):
"The coreutils configure script is unable determine how to get free
space from the Operating System when cross-compiling.
This changes caches the result of the "statfs2_bsize" test for the
coreutils configure script.
Both glibc and uclibc defines statfs as a two-argument function
and uses a struct statfs containing a f_bsize field. That's why
the fu_cv_sys_stat_statfs2_bsize variable has to be defined for
both libcs."
BTW I was crosscompiling for mips le platform with uclibc.
So it seems to be a bug in configure script, not in gnulib.
The Makefile for mc 4.8.1 (for openwrt like opkg system) is here
http://zyxel-keenetic-packages.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/package/built/mc/
The patches subdirectory is platform specific. The only patch that can be taken into account in future is the hardcoded TMPDIR_DEFAULT define in lib/global.h
Could you please attach your config.h here?
