Its actually mentioned in the book under Command Explanations.

--with-authfw=shadow: This parameter configures the package to use the
Shadow rather than the Linux PAM Authentication framework. Remove it if
you would like to use Linux PAM.

By default, without the --with-authfw paramter, it will build using pam
authentication (I presume).
