That's bizarre.  You're not using SGI's X installation then?

This doesn't really have anything top do with kaffe.  The problem is
that the libiflJFIF.so library (-ljpeg) is not `closed' and requires
-lC or -lCsup to be linked with it in order to link.  Really ugly and
stupid and OS and Image Format Library version dependent.  In any
case, the following configure.in patch works for me (YMMV):
