(Lukas, thanks for your reply. I don't receive erlang-bugs email, so
I'm responding to my own email instead of yours. CC'ing me on future
email would be helpful. :))

There's a build log here:

https://508366.bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=375456

erts/config.log is here:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=375958

A user also remarked on the fact that there seems to be a version
disparity here: "From what I can tell, erlang tries to link against
libsystemd-daemon, but systemd-212-r2 only creates libsystemd." Or
perhaps this is caused by the way we build systemd on Gentoo.

Anyway, from our point of view, automatic detection is really not what
we want. We prefer to have explicit control over which parts we want,
especially when those build-time options change what other packages
the build depends on.

Cheers,

Dirkjan
