[ale] Mandrake 10.0 configure and make errors - whaaa?

[Jay]

Ad I mentioned, it does it with all of the source packages I listed.  
I've got pork-0.99.3.tar.gz, naim-0.11.7.tar.bz2, and 
centericq-4.9.12-1.i386.  I've compiled these on other Mandrake 10 
systems with no problems.  the configure output is at 
ftp://metafero.elon.edu/configure -- note that when I piped the output 
into the file, the errors show up outside of the piped output, so are 
not in the file.  . 

Thanks for looking, and I hope you can help me figure out what I hosed 
up.  The only thing different about this box than my other Mandrake 
boxes is the security procedures I've run on it, since it's a production 
server.  That includes following the entire "level on security" manual 
for linux, from the Center for Internet Security.  I have no idea what 
might have been affected in the process that would lead to this, or I'd 
be trying to fix it, obviously.
