Description

With the need to build e2fsprogs for ARM and Power8 I also attempted to build it for my general RHEL7 systems. I discovered a few things. First I think we can eliminate the extra spec files. If you install lsb_release for your distro it will build with the default spec file. A yum install redhat-release will do it. On my build machine I have libfuse-devel installed which broke the e2fsprogs. Even a ./configure --disable-fuse2fs didn't help. Lastly for my new target testbed the disk are 75TB in size so when I attempted to build a file system I saw the following error: 

mke2fs 1.44.3.wc1 (23-July-2018)

mke2fs: Size of device (0x448000000 blocks) /dev/mapper/crius-ddn-l12 too big to be expressed in 32 bits using a blocksize of 4096.

It looks like a -o 64 option will be needed.
