 Hi,

 When trying to build '''xapian-core-1.2.21''' 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!
