+Subject: [PATCH] gio-2.0.pc: include libmount in Libs.private
+
+This helps with static linking. When application statically links with
+libgio, it needs to link against libmount explicitly. When it is
+mentioned in Libs.private, build system can figure out with which extra
+libs to link against with help of pkg-config.
+
+This build failure is detected by Buildroot autobuilder:
