1) Downloaded re-alpine 2.03 sources.
2) cd into it
3) ./configure
4) make
-> first error is
osdep.c:85:10: fatal error: 'pam/pam_appl.h' file not found
^
Workaround for that is described here:

The next error is:
osdep.c:265:10: fatal error: 'x509v3.h' file not found
^
I don't know enough about these headers. I just wish configure/make worked for as vanilla an install as possible.. (I realize people want to customize build options later for more sophisticated changes.)
