[arch-general] howto build shadow 4.1.5 with share libraries enabled?

[David C. Rankin]

All,

   I am having trouble building the new shadow (4.1.5) from ABS so that 
libshadow.so.0 is created and installed. I have tried modifying 
lib/Makefile.am like was done in 4.1.4:

   #Ugh, force this to build shared libraries, for god's sake
   sed -i "s/noinst_LTLIBRARIES/lib_LTLIBRARIES/g" lib/Makefile.am

But that produces no pkg/lib at all in the build directory.

   I have also tried setting the --enable-share configure option, but the 
build fails with that option set:

libtool: link: gcc -march=i686 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe -fstack-protector 
--param=ssp-buffer-size=4 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--sort-common 
-Wl,--as-needed -Wl,-z -Wl,relro -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -o login login.o 
login_nopam.o  ../libmisc/libmisc.a ../lib/.libs/libshadow.a -lcrypt -lpam 
-lpam_misc
login.o: In function `get_failent_user':
login.c:(.text+0x1a): undefined reference to `getdef_bool'
login.o: In function `main':
login.c:(.text.startup+0x4ec): undefined reference to `getdef_unum'
login.c:(.text.startup+0x517): undefined reference to `getdef_unum'
login.c:(.text.startup+0x52f): undefined reference to `getdef_unum'
<snip>

   I know /lib/libshadow.so.0 was dropped in the move from shadow 4.1.4.3-5 > 
4.1.5, but is it possible to build the new shadow and have it create 
libshadow.so.0? If so, how? This might be basic, but obviously I'm ignorant to 
the solution. Thanks.
