That's correct. I admit that the output of ./configure
--help is not tremendously helpful; that's what the
INSTALL file is intended to fix :)

Sorry, known bug, you need -lrt. Try pasting the above gcc
command line and appending -lrt on the end, and see if it
works. I'll fix autoconf in the next release (RSN, once I
can find a way to make TLS work properly....)

I'm fairly sure that it's only -lrt it's missing.

OOI, what do you want to do with auth-other? If your
authenticator is likely to be of general interest, would
you be prepared to contribute it to the distribution?
