Thanks for the heads-up.

I now also see that the latest Linux-PAM release (1.5.3) deprecated 
pam_lastlog and has suggested using pam_lastlog2 or pam_wtmpdb instead. 
I assume Gnulib should not worry about pam_lastlog2 since it doesn't map 
well into either utmp or wtmp.

Do any of the GCC compile farm machines[1] use wtmpdb? That would be 
useful for testing Gnulib. I briefly looked at cfarm188 and cfarm118 
(the two SUSE machines listed) and they didn't seem to be using wtmpdb, 
though I don't know how to tell for sure. Is there some other easy way 
to test changes to Gnulib that would use wtmpdb?
