Ok, i preliminary fixed it. But i had to patch the makefile. Patch applies only on amd64 for the time being. CC'ing hhg: As -fPIC is recommened for all shared objects and as this ebuild supply only a shared object, should I apply it on all archs ?
I applied this patch on all archs now myself. Fixed.
I'm no longer the maintainer for pam_usb; scox has been maintaining it since he became a developer (understandably -- pam_usb being his project and all). Although it seems he didn't change metadata.xml. I'll send him a note about it.
Yeah, well done Danny. I'll make this patch upstream by the next release of pam_usb. Thanks to the reporter for reporting this bug.
