The warnings about "mktemp" are ok and can be ignored.

The problem with the undefined function "tech_initmaxdrcsurround" is 
unusual.  This module is defined in "dbtech.c".  I suggest that you delete 
the object file associated with that module (db/dbtech.o) and then do the 
"make" again.  If there is still a problem, examine the file (db/dbtech.c) 
and see if the routine is there...perhaps the module was corrupted during 
unpacking.
