with 2.13+, mount itself no longer does filesystem detection.  instead, that 
job is left up to other (better) libraries which is a good thing (people 
maintaining mount need not spend time on it).

however, there are two different libraries util-linux will attempt to use and 
the one is decided at build time.  please post the output of:
ldd $(which util-linux)
so that we can figure out what library you're using and so you can figure out 
what library you should see if there is a newer version of

Karel: perhaps we should include this information in the output of 
`mount --version` ?
