Ok, this is excruciating.  I can only assume that I am doing something 
so completely wrong that it is befuddling the build system and it's not 
generating an error that would be meaningful.

I am using a RELENG_6 build machine to build a RELENG_6 image and I 
can't seem to figure out what is generating this non-sense PAM error.  
I'm certain that the correct libs are in place and that everything is 
being built without errors.

Is anyone else using RELENG_6 with NanoBSD right now?  This worked 
pre-6.3 and I can't see anything that would be causing this type of 
absolute failure.
