Hi!

I'm having a bit trouble cross compiling util-linux. Due to where is 
thinks it finds libpam.la. For all I know that might be a problem that 
Linux-PAM has, but if anyone could point me in the right direction I 
would be very happy :-)

configure was run like this: -prefix=/usr 
--build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-centix-linux-gnu 
--with-sysroot=/home/solskogen/obj/root.x86_64-centix-linux-gnu

I have succesfully compiled the linux kernel, binutils, gcc, glibc etc. 
with the cross compiler so I'm pretty sure that nothing is wrong with my 
toolchain.

not a bug in util-linux.  libtool linker scripts do not play well with cross-
compiling.  you can remove them, hack them, or hack up the local libtool.

the --with-sysroot isn't necessary

I disagree. GMP, MPFR, MPC, ISL and CLooG also deal with that kind of
problems with libtool. But --with-sysroot solves it.
CLooG did had a problem, but when I recreated the configure script
with a new versions of libtool, automake and autoconf the problem was
solved.
