SRU Justification
=================

[Impact]
oslogin fails on Xenial and Trusty.

In auth.log we see:

Oct 17 16:35:59 davecore-oslogin sshd[10073]: PAM unable to 
dlopen(pam_oslogin_login.so): /lib/security/pam_oslogin_login.so: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
Oct 17 16:35:59 davecore-oslogin sshd[10073]: PAM adding faulty module: 
pam_oslogin_login.so
Oct 17 16:35:59 davecore-oslogin sshd[10073]: PAM unable to 
dlopen(pam_oslogin_admin.so): /lib/security/pam_oslogin_admin.so: cannot open 
shared object file: No such file or directory
Oct 17 16:35:59 davecore-oslogin sshd[10073]: PAM adding faulty module: 
pam_oslogin_admin.so

The error message is a bit deceptive - PAM tries to load the module from
the correct location, fails, and then tries the other location where it
is missing. It then reports the missing error rather than the real
error.

symlink the module into both paths leads to a much more useful error
message:

[Test case]
 - set up GCE VM
 - turn on oslogin
 - attempt to log in

[Fix]
debian/patches/0002-Set-LDFLAGS-at-the-end-of-the-c-command-line-right-b.patch 
re-orders the link flags to link boost_regex for oslogin. However, this didn't 
change the flags for PAM module linking. So fix that too.

[Regression Potential]
- fixes a regression
- limited to oslogin, and how it is linked.

[Other Notes]
We still see a scary list of warnings when building, but they don't seem to 
have an impact on the common path:
