I notice that util-linux searches for libcap-ng (last release 0.7.4, 30
April 2014) in order to build setpriv.
I've never used setpriv:
"Sets or queries various Linux privilege settings that are inherited
across execve(2)."
I don't know how useful that is, but we should probably build it if we can.
Does anyone know if libcap-ng is a drop-in replacement for libcap?

In a related matter, util-linux's configure does the right thing with
./configure ADJTIME_PATH=/var/lib/hwclock/adjtime \
--docdir=/usr/share/doc/util-linux-2.25.2
but it gives some warnings. I can avoid the warnings with:
/configure \
--without-systemd \
--without-systemdsystemunitdir \
--without-python \
--disable-chfn-chsh \
--disable-login \
--disable-su \
--disable-setpriv \
--disable-runuser \
--disable-pylibmount
Is that worthwhile?
