Hi Martin,

I've seen the _eprintf error on solaris when I've tried to link a mix of 
libraries compiled with gcc and with sun cc. As I recall (this is all a 
bit hazy, I'm probably getting it wrong), _eprintf is part of gcc's 
implementation of printf, and is normally resolved in glibc. So I'd 
guess one of the objects in your link was built with gcc expecting 
glibc, but you're linking with either a different compiler, or gcc is 
finding the wrong libc.

You could maybe try to track down the problem by compiling the conf test 
code from the command line and removing libraries from the link until it 
starts working.
