This error is returned by the auditon() system call when your kernel
returns ENOSYS (No such system call) for the auditon() call.  It looks
like you are running a kernel that does not support auditing but a
/usr/bin/login binary that includes audit(4) related calls.

If you recently rebuild your kernel to remove AUDIT support, you should
install an up to date userland too.
