+Subject: [PATCH] pam_lastlog2: fix libpam linking in autotools build
+
+Move -lpam from LDFLAGS to LIBADD. When -lpam is in LDFLAGS it
+appears on the linker command line before object files, so the
+--as-needed linker flag (default on Fedora) discards it before
+seeing any undefined PAM symbols. This results in pam_lastlog2.so
+missing libpam.so in its ELF NEEDED entries.
+
+The module then fails to load with dlopen() if the calling process
+does not itself link against libpam (e.g., systemd in Fedora 44+):
+
+  PAM unable to dlopen(pam_lastlog2.so): undefined symbol: pam_syslog
+

+Upstream-Status: Backport [https://github.com/util-linux/util-linux/commit/5683ed6320e00205146cbb3d0c76462733530eca]
+[Dropped the LDFLAGS hunk: the -lpam in LDFLAGS was introduced upstream
+ after 2.41.3 and is not present in this tree, so only the LIBADD hunk
+ applies here.]
