I had a similar issue, caused by a wrong libdir in the util-linux's
*.pc files. They have libdir=/lib instead libdir=/usr/lib, and in some
setups the devel-symlink isn't found, which is usually in /usr.

Only the local build on one of my boxes failed, but editing the .pc
files solved the problem.

(The real location of the .so image does not matter, it's a detail
hidden and handled by the ld loader, and the .pc files should always
poit to the devel symlink to the .so.)
