Something like:
strings /lib64/libpam.so.0 | grep audit_open

It might just need rebuilding with the audit library & its headers present. 
Pam should automatically pick it up. To check this do ./configure --help and 
see if there is a --disable-audit. If there is a diable-audit, its patched and 
just needs rebuilding. If not, you need a newer pam.
