Hmm... well, apparently a freshly built "complete" Fedora 5
installation is also incomplete, as it failed there too....

But, I did figure it out, and thought posting the solution here might
help anyone else who has this problem...

Turns out, it was not finding libdl.a.

libdl.a _was_ present in /usr/lib, so it was just a matter of adding
it.to the AUXLIBS and that cleared up the problem.
