If libpam was compiled in, then this tool would do nothing. libpam is not a library for this tool, it's a target, like an input file. libpam is a library for the kernel of the target system. this tool hooks into it to do its work.

Exactly, it is the target. The later phrase pointed out in the original comment it to be some sort of dependency for runtime use, making the confusion. While it is not related to runtime code functionality at all.
