In Linux-PAM, libpam_misc schould be linked against libpam. That is a minor Linux-PAM bug which has no real effect in practice, because everybody using libpam_misc also uses libpam. But the shadow maintainer is also wrong. The configure script is to detect special things like such bugs. He should apply the patch to his configure script as correct workaround.
