[libxml++] Trying to cross compile libxml++

[Jim Hodapp <jhodapp iupui edu>]

I'm currently trying to cross compile libxml++-0.27.0 to work on my
iPaq PDA running the Familiar Linux distribution (for a project at
school).  I've gone ahead and changed all of the CC, CCX, lines to point
to the specific versions of gcc and g++ for the arm architecture, but I
keep getting errors when the build process tries to link.  Example
output:
 
make

I can't seem to get past this stage.  Anyone have any thoughts on this? 
This app is an absolute must for my project so any thoughts would be
greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks,
