Wow, that's completely impossible to build a so file with a command like
that! Please cd to client/pam_radius and try the following:

   gcc -shared  pam_radius.lo -Wl,--whole-archive \
       ../../lib/.libs/librad.a ../../lib/.libs/libdebug.a \
       -Wl,--no-whole-archive -lpam -lcrypt \
       -Wl,-Bsymbolic -Wl,-soname -Wl,pam_radius.so
       -o .libs/pam_radius.so -lc

If it works, I'll try to force libtool behave itself.

I am currently implementing the similar feature. I'll let you know when
it is ready.

This feature will be added soon (the approach taken in the patch is
not quite right, I'll avoid adding any new members to the REALM structure).

My apologies, this one has somehow skipped my attention. I'll take a
look.
