Description of problem:

building dbus under Fedora-IA64 failed with below error:

It's seems that the problem is caused by the code in dbus-1.1.2-audit-user.patch
. The patch add a call to audit_init() in the file
dbus/dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c. But the function is defined in bus/selinux.c and
not available there. Do some change in dbus-sysdeps-util-unix.c or add the
selinux.o (and might some other ".o"s in bus/) to the link command above may fix
 the problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dbus-1.1.2-8.fc8.src.rpm (CVS Nov 8 2007)
dbus-1.1.2-7.fc8.src.rpm

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.rpmbuild --rebuild dbus-1.1.2-8.fc8.src.rpm
2.
3.

Expected results:


Additional info:

I tried the same build on x86 and x86_64 platforms and both successful. Then I
traced this issue and found that the issue occurred only on ia64 due to the lack
of support for the linker (ld) option "--gc-sections". When replacing the
options with "-wl,--no-gc-sections" in the makefiles, I got the same error both
in x86 and x86_64.

I'm not familiar with dbus and not very sure if this is a real bug or some
tricks depending on the specified linker option.
