This looks like it will break anything with a READ_ONLY_ROOTFS since now
mtab won't exist and there will be no way for it to get created.  

I'm not quite sure I understand what problem you're trying to fix (since
I can't immediately think of any situation where calling addmntent() is
a sensible thing to do) but, whatever the problem is, I don't think that
unilaterally removing /etc/mtab is a good way to go about fixing it.
