I'm trying to build specific stages forgentoo for the place i work at. One of the included packages is nagios-plugins. However, when catalyst gets to this, the configure says that it can not find 'df'. When i look in the chroot, df is there.

If /etc/mtab does not exist, df will choke:

# df -k
df: cannot read table of mounted filesystems: No such file or directory

nagios-plugins' configure tests for a usable df syntax.
To solve this, copy /etc/mtab to the chroot enviornment.

I'll add be adding a check for this in the ebuild.
