Presumably this comes from the "su" command itself rather than from any
binary you've built from source.

(You can check this by running something simple via su, e.g.
  $ su amanda -c "echo test message"
)

If you are trying to eliminate that error message, it seems like you
want to delete/deactivate the corresponding line (rather that put
something new anywhere).

What do 
  $ grep ALWAYS_SET_PATH /etc/login.defs /etc/default/*
  $ ls -l /etc/login.defs /detc/defaults/su
show?
