Mount error - works with Slackware 14.2, does not work with Slackware -current

I am upgrading a box from Slackware 14.2 to Slackware-current. In fstab I have this line:

//10.140.131.72/dir /dir cifs user,noauto,rw,username=***,password=***,domain=***,noserverino 0 0

This works with Slackware 14.2, has for a very long time. With Slackware current, I get this:

mount error(22): Invalid argument
Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) and kernel log messages (dmesg)

dmesg shows:

CIFS: Unknown mount option "symfollow"

But I'm not using symfollow.

UPDATE: Apparently this is a known bug in utils-linux 2.36.1, fixed in 2.36.2. Slackware-current seems to be using 2.36.1. Is there a way for me to update my install to 2.36.2 without waiting for slackware-current to update?

Background - one of our suppliers is updating their SSH Ciphers to AES, discontinuing SHA*. Slackware 14.2 apparently does not support this, hence the update to slackware-current.latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=2pTJ6_yUoCc:2G3NAPgikmg:F7zBnMy latest?i=2pTJ6_yUoCc:2G3NAPgikmg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=2pTJ6_yUoCc:2G3NAPgikmg:gIN9vFw2pTJ6_yUoCc
