Description Colin Watson 2010-02-10 08:14:45 AEDT 
Created attachment 1792 [details]
add -lselinux to LIBS before calling AC_CHECK_FUNCS

Caleb Case <calebcase@gmail.com> pointed out in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openssh/+bug/188136 that configure fails to detect some SELinux functions because it doesn't add -lselinux to LIBS before calling AC_CHECK_FUNCS.  (Changing LIBS here clearly has no effect on any code after the AC_CHECK_FUNCS call - LIBS is reset immediately afterwards.)

Apologies for not forwarding this patch before now.
