  Hello Matthew,
             Hm, well I don't THINK your fixes are helping me.
I am using a 32 bit machine, so I ignore the 64 bit one, but the link
order doesn't seem to help.
  In the end I added "-lsasl2" to the link statements in the Makefile 
of evolution-exchange by hand. That seemed to fix compilation. But when
I ran...
  (evolution:16094): e-utils-WARNING **: can't load plugin
'/opt/evo-2.11.92//lib/libexchange-storage-1.2.so.3: undefined symbol:
sasl_errstring'

   This feels a little like a 'static /non static linking issue I had
once before. Maybe...
