After 4 tries, I give up on making the --enable-shared option work
on IRIX 6.5.2f.  I finally ended up compiling it without the
--enable-shared option, and it works like a charm.

I guess if someone eventually figures out what exact flags are needed
to make the shared library option work, please post to the list.
