The first time around, after my initial configure,
this was true.  I added the
HAVE_PROGRAM_INVOCATION_NAME definition to see if it
would improve the make.  So, I think what you are
saying is that configure worked properly the first
time.  OK.

OK, I think I see the problem more clearly.  I will
remove the definition from config.h and then run these
lines above to see if I can get the pin.o to get
linked in and define the flags... right?

That happens a lot.  Let me try it again your way this
time and see what happens.

Thanks for your help!  I will start the new make with
the original config.h and then add those lines you
suggested after it fails out.  Then I will restart the
make to see if it continues on.


THANKS!!
