The fix, according to https://github.com/basho/riak/issues/724, is to install libpam0g-dev:
sudo apt-get install libpam0g-dev
After I installed that package, the build succeeded.
This should be documented in README.txt. And also a fix for Redhat and OS X, if different. README.txt should also state what are the supported JDK versions.
