Thanks for reporting that.  I don't know what the problem is, but you
could try compiling with

  ./configure --disable-shared

to see if it only affects shared libraries.  Could you send me the
complete list of errors so I can see if there is anything different
about the functions with errors (or does it occur for every function?).
