This turned out to be a difference in structure packing (it's something
that happens a lot with ARM).  The patch below should get it working for
you.

Funny aside:  I opened newfs_msdos.c and within 90 seconds knew what was
wrong and how to fix it.  It then took me over an hour to prove to
myself that my fix was right -- the mount was failing because I forgot
to put "option MSDOSFS" in my kernel config (and we always build our
systems with no .ko modules at all).
