As I noted there, I tried to test with just grafts but didn't fix it for me (I'm guessing grafting won't work with that configure flag change). The patch matches how nix configures p11-kit as well, due to this bug.

I'm not sure the flatpak/p11-kit problem will be so easily fixed. As I 
understand it, flatpak talks to a p11-kit server process over a socket. 
The server may have been started by something other than flatpak, so it 
might not be the fixed version.

I'm not comfortable deciding whether or not this should block the merge, so 
I'll defer to someone else who has more experience making those types of 
judgments.

Best,
Jack
