That's part of GNKSA, and as such, is a non-negotiable for the PAN
official version.

That said, you have and are already compiling from the PAN sources... 
Skipping the call to that test or simply making it return an arbitrary
A-OK instead of actually checking shouldn't be difficult.  Doing your own
mods on the sources are what they are there for. =8^)  I don't claim to be
a C programmer, yet even I get in and do minor mods of that nature once in
awhile.
