The following error was produced from the compilation of sys-auth/policykit-0.9 from the Gnome overlay (~amd64 system, PolicyKit unmasked). PAM is not installed on my system, which is what I assume to be the problem in this case as a PAM header file is missing.

Could you please attach the full build.log as suggested by emerge? Thanks

Someone provided a patch at the upstream bug report. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16131 And there are other similar PAM build related bugs there dating back to 2006...?
(In reply to comment #4) > And there are other similar PAM build related bugs there dating back to > 2006...? From where are you getting the idea of year 2006 here...?
I was looking at a similar bug from 2006: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6476 Same problem, but in a different file. Removing the unwanted pam_appl.h inclusion allows me to continue building policykit-0.9 (although there is another bug I've filed relating to the use of the undefined _pk_debug function in polkit-authorization-db-dummy.c - it should be calling polkit_debug instead from what I can see).
Created attachment 167192 [details, diff] Patch from Kaj-Michael Lang (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16131)
in overlay as 0.9-r1, thanks for reporting.
closing fixed :)
