Summary: Not linking under Fedora Core 5

Initial Comment:
I'm trying to compile Expat on Fedora Core 5 (first
1.95.8, then I obtained 2.0.0 from CVS to try that) and
it fails at the linking stage.
Below is the output from make and configure. Please help.

What we have:
gcc 4.1.0
libool 1.5.22

If you need any other information please let me know. 

Thanks!

Wendy
