Re: [Pam-developers] [PATCH] Fix compile time errors with static modules enabled

When you build "libpam" before "modules" in STATIC_MODULES mode, you get libpam.la without all these modules/pam_*/*.a linked in. The result libpam.a in this case is full of undefined references to _pam_*_modstruct, and therefore is quite unusable, isn't it?

I suppose you had to disable some modules (including pam_selinux) and build the tree several times with manual intervention to get it built properly.
