Description fling 2020-05-11 20:11:45 UTC 
Running `su` as a regular user results in error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge util-linux with "su" use flag enabled
2. run `su` as a regular user
Actual Results:  
su: cannot get groups: Operation not permitted

Expected Results:  
localhost ~ # 

getcap shows nothing for /bin/su
I used `chmod +s /bin/su` as a workaround.
