If you want to configure lsbdev to always include the above
directories in the environment then you can edit
/etc/lsbdev/extra_mount_dirs.conf and a line like:
/sbin /sbin
I probably should add /sbin to the list to be included by
default. Perhaps /usr/share/i18n as well, though I'm pretty sure this
is only needed at runtime and you can build the test suites without
having the pseudolanguages installed.

Thats correct. To build the test suites I've been working around this
by statically linking the interfaces which aren't in the LSB and
dynamically linking the others. You can do this by using ld scripts.
The README file in lsbdev describes how to set this up. With the
latest version of lsbdev (1.0.6) its a addition to lsbdev.conf.
>From memory you'll need to statically link some interfaces from libc,
libpthread and librt. The interfaces which are not in the LSB and
causing the link failures are under consideration for inclusion in the
LSB specification.

Chris.
