This looks like you're missing a -ldl somewhere somehow.

 You are not alone that you find it confusing, but be assured that we
will get things in a working order again quickly.

There is a guy in Brasil (sleeping right now after a 36 hacking session)
who will fix all this and bring the Kaffe universe in a working order
once he gets back to it.  We all appreciate his efforts.

Just send mail to oliva at dcc.unicamp.br and mention everything that
could be important (versions of OS, architecture, buildtools, etc.)
