+Subject: [PATCH] pam_lastlog2: fix libpam linking in autotools build
+
+The pam_lastlog2 module uses pam_syslog() and other libpam symbols but
+the autotools build did not link the module against libpam. With the
+linker default of --as-needed (and -lpam previously only in LDFLAGS,
+before the object files), libpam was discarded and did not appear in the
+module's ELF NEEDED entries.
+
+The module then fails to load with dlopen() if the calling process does
+not itself link against libpam (e.g. systemd on recent Fedora, or weston
+on journald-based systems without syslog):
+
+  PAM unable to dlopen(/usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog2.so): undefined symbol: pam_syslog
+  PAM adding faulty module: /usr/lib/security/pam_lastlog2.so
+
+Move -lpam into pam_lastlog2_la_LIBADD so it is placed after the object
+files on the link line and is retained in the NEEDED entries. The meson
+build already links libpam correctly via cc.find_library('pam').
+
+Note for this backport: against 2.41.3 only the LIBADD line needs to
+change. The upstream commit also removes -lpam from LDFLAGS, but that
+LDFLAGS reference was added after 2.41.3 and is not present here, so the
+net change is the single LIBADD hunk below.
+
+Fixes: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2453457
