    <para os="ba">Util-linux does not use the freshly installed headers and
    libraries from the <filename class="directory">/tools</filename>
    directory by default. This is fixed by altering the configure script:</para>

    <para os="bc">The Util-linux installation uses <option>-o root</option>.
    The following <command>sed</command> removes that since we don't have
