  Feedback and bug reports, as always, are welcomed.

When I run:

./configure --disable-su --disable-sulogin --disable-login

I get:

        util-linux  2.24-rc2

        prefix:            /usr
        exec prefix:       ${prefix}

        localstatedir:     /run
        bindir:            /lib
        sbindir:           ${exec_prefix}/sbin
        libdir:            ${exec_prefix}/lib
        includedir:        ${prefix}/include
        usrbin_execdir:    ${exec_prefix}/bin
        usrsbin_execdir:   ${exec_prefix}/sbin
        usrlib_execdir:    ${exec_prefix}/lib

        compiler:          gcc -std=gnu99
        cflags:            -g -O2
        suid cflags:

Surely bindir should not be /lib. I can't even override it with --bindir=/bin

Indeed, if I make && make DESTDIR=/tmp/util-linux install I get:

$ ls /tmp/util-linux/lib
dmesg  findmnt  kill  lsblk  more  mount  mountpoint  umount  wdctl

I'm not an autotools expert, but I tried changing line 55 in configure.ac to

AS_CASE([$libdir],  ['${exec_prefix}/lib'],  [libdir=/lib;  ...
                                              ^^^
and not
AS_CASE([$libdir],  ['${exec_prefix}/lib'],  [bindir=/lib;

But that's not right either because it changes bindir to /sbin and not /bin.

Also, a lot of executables are placed in /usr/sbin when the default should be /sbin. Examples are swapon, fsck*, mkfs*, etc.
