as for mandrake, we should consider to either include sln in the
util-linux or in the glibc as rh folks do.
currently we don't do any of these alternatives.
the question is : do we ensure rh compatibility (well i don't think
there's much people requiring glibc for /sbin/sln :-)) or not ?
we did put sln in glibc in the old days but chmouel removed it.
gwenole, juan, have you some hints on that subject ?
not a big deal ...

hummm. currently it guesses if it must build sln depending if c
compiler support static linking.
i would rather prefer an option to *disable* static compiling for
people who don't care about cpu time spent in compiling static
programs.
but not everybody rebuild its own util-linux.
so just ignore that "problem".
