Compiling without Steamworks?

[NetSysFire]

NO_STEAMWORKS has no peceived effect when compiling and there will be a fatal error during linking. The Steamworks-sdk dependency has only been "documented" in a single, closed issue.
Is there really no way to work around this? What if people want to package this for distributions? I can see there being license troubles.

Full trace for anyone interested:

Related: #2012 but there has been no answer, so it was likely forgotten.

its seems like support for NO_STEAMWORKS was not added for newer code (example in older code), I'll hopefully be able to add it to newer code.
