But can you compile it in any environment where it would be useful?

If you have CONFIG_USE_BB_SHADOW, and build against a uclibc that does not 
have shadow support (and thus does not have shadow.h), will it compile?

Are you saying that the only way to use CONFIG_USE_BB_SHADOW is to build 
against a uclibc that includes shadow support?  If so, what is the purpose of 
CONFIG_USE_BB_SHADOW?  This code only compiles when it's redundant?

That's the point I'm trying to clarify.
