Presumably this comes from the "su" command itself rather than from any binary you've built from source.

If you are trying to eliminate that error message, it seems like you want to delete/deactivate the corresponding line (rather that put something new anywhere). What do $ grep ALWAYS_SET_PATH /etc/login.defs /etc/default/* $ ls -l /etc/login.defs /detc/defaults/su show?
