what means the dropbear dependency on glibc-devel?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  (here's hoping this isn't a really dumb question.)

  i want to cross-compile dropbear independently and put it on an
embedded linux system, so i checked the dropbear install on my fedora
system for its dependencies:

$ rpm -qR dropbear
/bin/bash
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/bin/sh
/sbin/service
chkconfig >= 0.9
initscripts
libc.so.6
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.0)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.1)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.2)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.3.4)
libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.4)
libcrypt.so.1
libcrypt.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)
libutil.so.1
libutil.so.1(GLIBC_2.0)
libz.so.1
rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
rtld(GNU_HASH)
$

  most of that looks fine -- the embedded system already has libc,
libcrypt and libz installed.  but what about libutil?  a quick check
shows that that comes from the glibc-devel package for fedora.

  what exactly is required from glibc-devel's libutil.so -- at least
on a fedora system -- for dropbear installation?  so i know if i have
to cross-compile and install a bit more than what's already there.

  thanks muchly.
