Wow @cho-m, thank you for looking into this so thoroughly. I missed your comment at the time. As we approach the anniversary, I have the same problem: My outputs are substantially similar to your examples: $ objdump -p "$(brew --prefix sqlite3)/lib/libsqlite3.so" | grep -E 'NEEDED|RPATH'

Here's a gist of the build logs. I'm at a loss to understand build chains and compiler options. I have no idea how to fix the toolchain or anything. I'm very grateful for any attention to this and any suggestions. |

Hi, I encountered this issue on an Ubuntu 16.04 machine, and I could reproduce in plain Ubuntu 16.04 image in docker. Note that I could build util-linux without error from source on Ubuntu 20.04 image, which also has old glibc and therefore brew's glibc should be used. I think this will reproduce build error: docker run --rm -ti ubuntu:16.04 bash
