If you have musl/glibc libutil.a in sbase directory, you've got a real problem indeed, but unrelated to this discussion. sbase Makefile tells c99 to link against libutil.a, not to link against util library in the library search path so no, there's no “PITA” because the issue you're suggesting can't happen.
