How do you compile/link mount.cifs?

When doing a fresh build (autogen / configure / make everything),
this should correctly create you bin/mount.cifs.

In 3.2.6, a new object has been added to mount.cifs, namely
client/mtab.o. So when you compile with a individual command
like "gcc -o mount.cifs client/mount.cifs.c", this will fail with
exactly the error message as specified above.

Cheers - Michael
