Bob,

I'm not sure what all you wanted.  I upgraded to 5.5 based on Thomas' 
suggestion.  I still get the same error, but it is now at line 13651.  I 
have included more of the config output, and the section of the raw file 
that appears to contain the line with the error.  I also get the same error 
during the build.

Configure text:
echo "$as_me:13629: checking default library-dependency suffix" >&5
