Look at http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/changeset/9810 su-tools was chap5 coreutils su but as that was not convenient to report coreutils tests issue in chap6 with su-tool used, it was changed in changeset/9810 to be installed under su name (in chap5). So that can't solve anything linking su-tools that no more exist under su-tools name or su name as coreutils su has vanished since 8.19 upgrade.
