Hmm, so the actual sources of the library itself, i.e. sd-login.c don't
use any the sd_id128_xyz functions, and hence we shouldn't apply your
patch. Instead, since d848b9cbfa0ba72 the id128 stuff is pulled in by
specifier.c which is part of the convenience library
libsystemd-shared.so. Or in other words, we currently have a nice dep
loop in place where -shared.so and -id128.so use each other's
functions. We might want to split out the id128 stuff from specifier.c
again? Zbigniew?
