missing mysql_clear_password.so plugin

There is a MariaDB Galera Cluster with PAM auth plugin.
With HAproxy it works perfectly but as the servers do not see the source IP of the clients, I decided to give a try to the MaxScale.

But the MaxScale is not able to connect to the servers due to the lack of the mysql_clear_password plugin:

2016-11-30 10:58:54 error : [RW Split Router] Failed to connect to server 'server1' (1.2.3.1:3306) when checking authentication user credentials and permissions: 2058 Plugin mysql_clear_password could not be loaded: /home/ec2-user/workspace/_build/connector-c/install/lib/plugin/mysql_clear_password.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
2016-11-30 10:58:54 error : [RW Split Router] Failed to connect to server 'server2' (1.2.3.2:3306) when checking authentication user credentials and permissions: 2058 Plugin mysql_clear_password could not be loaded: /home/ec2-user/workspace/_build/connector-c/install/lib/plugin/mysql_clear_password.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
2016-11-30 10:58:54 warning: Service 'RW Split Router' has no listeners defined.

Two problems here:
1. the plugin dir seems hardcoded (/home/ec2-user/workspace/_build/connector-c/install/lib/plugin/) and I couldn't find option to modify it
2. the pligin itself is missing from the installation (couldn't find mysql_clear_password.so on the server)

My work to try resolving:
1. created the expected dir
2. symlinked the mysql_clear_password.so from MariaDB-common packages into the dir

After these the MaxScale seemd to be able to connect to the servers (the "Failed to connect..." error disappeared) but no new login row in the servers audit log and at the end the maxscale process crashed:
