I'm neot sure regarding what the precise problem is, but I can tell from the 
log you included that the wrong commands are being executed. .For example, it 
looks like you're building on Cygwin but the linker option --export-dynamic 
(instead of --export-all-symbols) is being used. Assuming that you're building 
the latest development code, perhaps, therefore, you didn't run autogen first.
