For example, if I was for some reason using a vfat filesystem on my Linux box to do the build. Then again, anyone that uses vfat for that purpose probably is not building pam. I really don't have any interest in making the build process work in every conceivable build environment. I do however, have interest in seeing the build process work on reasonable configurations of OS's that it is likely to benefit. Mike
