I'm confused about how you have this problem, since by default libtool
uses PIC for all shared objects, and I'm not sure why the PAM module
wouldn't be a shared object.

Oh, I wonder if the problem is just that you're missing -shared in the
pam_shishi_la_LDFLAGS setting.  You have:

pam_shishi_la_LDFLAGS = -module -avoid-version

and my PAM module packages all have:

pam_krb5_la_LDFLAGS = -module -shared -avoid-version $(VERSION_LDFLAGS) \
        $(AM_LDFLAGS)

(for example).

PAM modules should always be shared; static PAM modules really don't make
any sense on nearly all systems.  I've never had a request for one in
years of maintaining PAM modules.
