+        When systemd-hostnamed is used it is strongly recommended to

+        under all circumstances. In fact, systemd-hostnamed will warn

+        includes systemd-hostnamed.
+
+        Note that D-Bus can link against libsystemd-login.so, which
+        results in a cyclic build dependency. To accomodate for this
+        please build D-Bus without systemd first, then build systemd,
+        then rebuild D-Bus with systemd support.
