Then slackware's e2fsprogs-dev package is broken.  Specifically it's
pkg-config file is missing that flag.

This is probably due to the still somewhat recent changes in gcc.  You
used to be able to get away with just linking to ext2fs, and gcc would
see that it imports com_err, and link that as well.  This was a bug
and gcc no longer does this so you have to explicitly link the other lib.
