I don't know why it's building properly, but see also the thread from

He posted a followup with a patch. I'm using that successfully for  
PLAIN mechanism and shadow passdb (Slackware Linux.)

Uh, yes and no. Beta 5 is probably what you want. The old "stable" 
0.99's are much different, and unmaintained at this point. Timo was 
calling it "alpha" for a long time, until people here pressured him to 
call it a beta. :)
