  That's the PAM value add...

  You haven't said which OS this is on.  There *is* more than one
implementation of PAM.  And IIRC, that requirement wasn't there when the
module was originally written.

  The compiler on your OS is adding extra magic to the compiled module.
 Either fix that so it's just a compiler, or fix the Makefile to
reference the correct libraries with this function.

  Either way, the module works on other systems.  So the module isn't
broken.

  <sigh>  The messages clearly say "WARNING", not "ERROR".

  And the compiler warnings have been extended significantly since the
module was originally written.
