"config.log" is here: http://sprunge.us/XXfX This might be a problem with some interplay between 'libncurses' and 'libncursesw' (the wide-character variant). The installed packages on the system are: ==== $ dpkg -l '*ncurs*' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Architecture Description +++-=======================-================-================-==================================================== un libncurses-dev <none> <none> (no description available) ii libncurses5:amd64 5.9+20140913-1+b amd64 shared libraries for terminal handling ii libncurses5-dev:amd64 5.9+20140913-1+b amd64 developer's libraries for ncurses ii libncursesw5:amd64 5.9+20140913-1+b amd64 shared libraries for terminal handling (wide charact un ncurses <none> <none> (no description available) ii ncurses-base 5.9+20140913-1 all basic terminal type definitions ii ncurses-bin 5.9+20140913-1+b amd64 terminal-related programs and man pages un ncurses-dev <none> <none> (no description available) un ncurses-doc <none> <none> (no description available) un ncurses-runtime <none> <none> (no description available) ii ncurses-term 5.9+20140913-1 all additional terminal type definitions ==== I see that both the uni-byte and the wide-character versions are installed, but only the uni-byte '-dev' version is installed, And the error is about linking with the wide-char variant: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lncursesw It could be that this is not an optimal system to build util-linux on (e.g. messed up packages combination? yet all done with valid 'apt-get' commands). However it would be nice to detect it during "./configure" if possible. ---- Also, On alpine-linux, the compilation now fails with: === CC sys-utils/dmesg-dmesg.o sys-utils/dmesg.c:9:26: fatal error: linux/unistd.h: No such file or directory compilation terminated. Makefile:9274: recipe for target 'sys-utils/dmesg-dmesg.o' failed make[2]: *** [sys-utils/dmesg-dmesg.o] Error 1 === Again, this could be due to missing "linux-headers" package - but is it really the kernel's "unistd.h" that's needed, or could this work with the standard one?
