    <para>First, fix a build error when using Util-Linux built in
    Chapter 5:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -i "s:blkid/::" $(grep -rl "blkid/blkid.h")</userinput></screen>

    <para>Apply the following patch so that compat
    <command>pkg-config</command> files get installed without installing compat
    libs which are useless on LFS:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&systemd-compat-patch;</userinput></screen>

    <para>Disable two tests that always fail:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">sed -e 's@test/udev-test.pl @@'  \
    -e 's@test-copy$(EXEEXT) @@' \
    -i Makefile.in</userinput></screen>

    <para>Rebuild generated files after modifying Makefile.am and 
    Makefile.in:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">autoreconf -fi</userinput></screen>

    <para>Create a file to allow systemd to build when using Util-Linux
    built in Chapter 5, to disable LTO by default, and to build without
    xlstproc:</para>

<screen><userinput remap="pre">cat &gt; config.cache &lt;&lt; "EOF"

EOF</userinput></screen>

    <para>LTO is disabled by default because it causes
    <command>systemd</command> and other auxiliary programs to link to
    <filename class="libraryfile">libgcc_s.so</filename>, slows the build down
    and makes the compiled code larger.</para>

    <para>Since the testsuite largely depends on the host system kernel
    configuration, some tests may fail. It also needs a modification in
    order not to look for a program that will be installed by Util-Linux
    package later in this chapter. To test the results, issue:</para>
