Yes, every time.
I have not re-built my /src in several days, but each time I attempt a 
make I remove everything and run a configure first.

1. I don't think that will work because every plugin you listed there 
has it's corresponding
##
vm/vm.a(sqNamedPrims.o)(.data+0x3c): undefined reference to 
`FilePlugin_exports'
##
line in my previous posting. =P

Naturally, it is actually defined:
##
./FilePlugin/FilePlugin.a:FilePlugin.o:00000020 D FilePlugin_exports
##

and listed in the invocation of gcc that triggered the error message.




If it weren't frustrating, it wouldn't be a GNU compiler!

It works just fine in my workhorse VM and it compiled without error or 
warning.

Not exactly, recall that my distro didn't like the ltmain.sh from the 
SVN archives so I had to run libtoolize on it.

I tried both single and double-threaded builds, the results are the same 
except the order of some of the invocations...

I just ran "make 2> errors" and that didn't reveal anything noteworthy.
