It looks like some sort of mismatch: Normally we check ofr the ability to
build shared libs/modules (.so files on unix). If we can do so, we don't
define ENABLE_STATIC. It looks like the linker tries to statically link
the plugins into the binary while the compile process thinks that they
will be loaded at runtime.
Can you please send me a) the versions of automake, autoconf and libtool
and b) the toplevel config.log and c) the output of make (linking phase
only: do a make all and after this fails, just run it again, this time
with logging)?

Thanks
   Jörg

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
