Libcap is a library for getting and setting POSIX.1e (formerly POSIX 6) draft 15 capabilities.
Compile the package:
make CC="gcc ${BUILD32}"
This package does not come with a test suite.
Install the package:
make RAISE_SETFCAP=no lib=lib install chmod -v 755 /lib/libcap.so.2.24 ln -sfv ../../lib/$(readlink /lib/libcap.so) /usr/lib/libcap.so rm -v /lib/libcap.so mv -v /lib/libcap.a /usr/lib
The meaning of the make option:
RAISE_SETFCAP=no
This prevents setcap from being run on itself, which will fail if the kernel or file system does not support extended capabilities.
