I tried adding the extra libraries for PAM, which didn't seem to do very
much... it had already defined -DUAM_PAM for the PAM specific modules.
This is really strange. Now uams_randnum is compiling as shared. It looks
like the only difference between uams_guest and the others is that
uams_guest is not linked with any other modules (-lpam or anything like
that) and therefore is statically linked, even though ld is called with
-shared. This might be a red herring, though.

They definately aren't being loaded, but there doesn't seem to be any
reason for it that I can find. I've had this problem with
1.4b2+asun2.1.4pre3{7,8,9}.
