What kind of containers are these? LXC? docker?

nspawn at least grants audit caps to containers. If you don't grant
audit caps you cannot boot distros like Fedora at all, since much of
the PAM audit code in Fedora is written to fail completely if audit is on
in the kernel, but cannot be used.

Hmm, exluding the audit code from the build if HAVE_AUDIT is not set
is certainly a good idea, but we generally try to keep #ifdeffery out
of .c files. More specifically, the journald-audit.c file should not
be compiled and linked at all on non-audit builds, and
journald-audit.h should contain the #ifdeffery that causes
server_open_audit() to become a NOP on such builds. Would be happy to
take a patch for that.
