[OT] Berkely DB shared library

["Igor S. Livshits" <igorl life uiuc edu>]

I apologize for this somewhat off-topic post, but I recall a 
discussion earlier concerning Berkeley DB and my other sources are 
turning out to be fruitless.

Anyway, I am trying to compile a shared library version Berkeley DB 
2.6.4.10 using gcc-2.8.1 installed from scratch on my RedHat 5.2 
system. The static library works fine, but the shared library fails 
to link with the following error (sendmail example):

sendmail: error in loading shared libraries
: undefined symbol: __register_frame_info


Folks at Sleepy Cat suggested that my compiler may be the problem. 
Yet, this would be the first compiler problem after using it to 
compile dozens of other packages.

I'd appreciate any advice,
Igor
