 Hi,

 When trying to build '''xapian-core-1.2.2[[span(style=color: #FF0000, 1
 )]]''' on a Linux box (RHEL4), after a few minutes, the build fails with
 lots of `undefined reference` errors:

 Disabling backends doesn't help either...
 This is a summary of my environment:

 * zlib 1.2.8
 * libuuid 1.0.0
 * autoconf 2.69
 * automake 1.15
 * libtool 2.4.6
 * gcc 3.4.6

 Please any ideas on what could I do?

 Thank you!
