This seems to be a potential issue with the way Neil re-did
the tests..  It's possible that the linker is getting confused
with the way Neil lists all the source files.  This means it
might not grab the correct symbols during the link.

I'm trying a build myself right now and I'll see if it happens
to me.  One potential fix is to change the order that files are
listed in the Makefile.am.

PS: The initial build I did (on FC3) didn't have this problem.
I ran a "make clean" and I'm rebuilding to double-check, but
it seems to be working for me as is.
