I have it merged here, with no issues that I recall.  (However, I did
merge it using gcc-4.1.0 as the compiler, IIRC, as I've unmasked and am
running it as my default compiler.)

So... have you done what it suggested and checked config.log in the
working/compiling dir?  Have you then traced the config.log error down to
the line in the configure script to see what's going on?

One of the issues I ran into a couple times (not with this package, but
with this test in other packages) is that depending on exactly how it
tests, it may not like certain CFLAGS (or CXXFLAGS, if it's a C++
compile).  Thus, the usual advice applies -- try reducing your CFLAGS (or
CXXFLAGS, but that shouldn't apply to this package) to the basics:

CFLAGS="-march=k8 -pipe -O2"

Just to cover something that comes up occasionally, that's NOT a zero in
-O2, that's a "capital oh".  <g>  Depending on your display font, it might
be worth retyping that part of your CFLAGS just to make sure it's  right.

If that doesn't help, post the error again, and config.log as well.  It
wouldn't hurt to include the configure script itself too, except that it's
too big to be appropriate for the list.  If you have a web site or other
place you can put them to make them available for examination, maybe you
could post both the config.log and the configure script itself there and
post the URLs here.  (Experts may be able to go from just the config.log,
but I don't claim to be that good -- I nearly always have to reference the
log against the configure script to see what it's actually doing that made
the log print what it did.)
