It would appear that the configuration script isn't deciding that it
needs to add a reference to the networking support library (-lnsl) to
all link lines.  This is odd since it correctly does this on our Solaris
2.5 systems.

Would you please do the following:

    1.  Go to the top-level source directory.

    2.  Execute the command `rm -f config.cache'.

    3.  Execute the `configure' script as you did before and send me the
        output.

    4.  Send me the file `config.log'.
