[ptxdist] Error configuring utils-linux 2.41

[ptxdist] Error configuring utils-linux 2.41

I'm maintaining a system that still uses an old libc version not including
librt and libpthread.

Migrating to ptxdist 2025.05.0, I got an error while configuring
utils-linux 2.41.

meson says:
../util-linux-2.41/meson.build:1482:22: ERROR: Object
<[ExternalLibraryHolder] holds [ExternalLibrary]: <ExternalLibrary rt:
True>> of type ExternalLibrary does not support the `+` operator.

The bug is a missing + at line 1478 of meson.build.

A patch is attached.

The bug has been already found and corrected upstream. I expect it will be
fixed in version 2.42.

Best regards,

Ruggero

That same patch is already available on PTXdist master, commit d443e2828062c1b
(2025-05-11, Michael Olbrich: "util-linux: add upstream fix to build with older
glibc") https://git.pengutronix.de/cgit/ptxdist/commit/?id=d443e2828062c1bb7134
