[lvm-devel] errors compiling lvm with static linking

[Alexander Talos-Zens]

Hej,

when building a statically linked lvm with libblkid from
util-linux-2.25.2 and glibc-2.21, I ran into two issues:

 * undefined reference to `pthread_mutex_lock' and unlock in libdevmapper.a
 * missing uuid_unparse() in libblkid (while it's source file works
around the (non)-existence of HAVE_LIBUUID, the library, once compiled
and installed, obviously doesn't)

The patch below did the trick for me, but may break the compile with
other versions of util-linux and possibly glibc.

HTH, best regards,

Alexander
