That patch masks the actual error, which is that the variable was used
without being defined.  The underlying bug was fixed in a different
way, as described in
<http://cvs.savannah.gnu.org/viewcvs/coreutils/m4/ls-mntd-fs.m4?root=coreutils&r1=1.32&r2=1.33>.

I assume you're talking about coreutils 5.95.

Jim, perhaps this fix should also be propagated into the b5_9x branch?
(I just now propagated it into Autoconf CVS.)
