pango compilation

[Stephen Cope <scope lynx dac neu edu>]

hello all.

i am having trouble compiling pango:

(cd . && ln -s module-defs-xft.lo module-defs-xft.o)
gcc -shared  pangoxft-font.lo pangoxft-fontmap.lo module-defs-xft.lo
-Wl,--whole-archive opentype/.libs/libpango-ot.al -Wl,--no-whole-archive
-Wl,--rpath -Wl,/oth/tmp/pango-1.0.0/pango/.libs -Wl,--rpath
-Wl,/usr/local/lib  -L/usr/local/lib opentype/.libs/libpango-ot.al
./.libs/libpango-1.0.so -lXft -lXrender -lXext -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lX11
-L/usr/lib /usr/lib/libfreetype.so    -Wl,-soname -Wl,libpangoxft-1.0.so.0
-o .libs/libpangoxft-1.0.so.0.0.0
collect2: ld terminated with signal 11 [Segmentation fault], core dumped
make[3]: *** [libpangoxft-1.0.la] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/oth/tmp/pango-1.0.0/pango'
make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/oth/tmp/pango-1.0.0'
make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2

can anyone tell what's going on at a quick glance?  i'm running redhat
7.2.  any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

thanks!
