Looks like the configure script had some problems building the XDR test
program.  This shouldn't have happened.  That test program has been
written with portability uppermost in mind.

The program should exist as `conftest'.  Does it?  If so, then try
running it manually.  What does it output?  What is its exit status?

I don't like the warnings from the linker (ld).  I wonder if your GNU
compiler should be rebuilt (it does need to be rebuilt every time the
operating system is upgraded).  Do you have the DEC-supplied C compiler
(cc)?  If so, try using it rather than the GNU C compiler by doing the
following:

    1.  Execute the command `make clean'.

    2.  Comment-out the 2 added lines in the `configure' file.

    3.  Execute the command `CC=cc ./configure --prefix=/usr/local'

    4.  Execute the command `make all'.  Trap the output.
