proc/readproc.c from procps makes use of libsystemd-login if it is available. Add a new USE flag "elogind" which patches in support for libelogind as an alternative.
Created attachment 453032 [details] procps-3.3.12-r2 Updated ebuild that accepts USE="elogind" and patches in libelogind support.
Created attachment 453034 [details, diff] Patch to enable libelogind support This patch does the following: a) Add "--with-elogind" to configure.ac b) Add ELOGIND_LIBS to Makefile.am c) Add include <elogind/sd-login.h> to proc/readproc.c if elogind is used.
The current ebuild has the following serious issue: sys-process/procps installs /bin/kill and /bin/ps. At least the latter is used during the start of openrc and fails, because libelogind.so.0 is not found. To make this secure for users with a separate /usr partition, the elogind ebuild might need to be changed to install libelogind into /lib and symlink back to /usr/lib. Thoughts?
With the new ebuild for elogind (https://bugs.gentoo.org/attachment.cgi?id=453370) from bug 599474, there is no longer any error message on early boot.
Hey Sven, Thanks for doing this - I'm a regular user trying to join in on the elogind testing. During my attempt to compile sys-process/procps-3.3.12-r2 from your seden overlay, I discovered that the Manifest is no longer accurate.

Looks like the bug is fixed in the overlay, and I managed to compile it without manual changes to the ebuild/Manifest - thanks Sven! https://cgit.gentoo.org/user/seden.git/commit/?id=58704d12183121d78e433aefb05e2b5bbe4a90b6
