I am not sure where you got the -Wc switch but it does not exist in gcc as
far as I can tell. I set the environmental variable LDFLAGS to
"-mimpure-text" before configuring and everything works fine now.  Thanks
for the tip.  The best I can do, as I do not know how libtool works at
all, is write a autoconf test which will try to create a shared library
and if it fails try creating one with -mimpure-text and see if that works
