Hi, 

If the compiler is not supported by libtool then shared libraries
(.so) won't be built.  Check the configure output for lines like
``checking if shared libraries are supported.... no'' to see if this
is the case.

The IEEE problem should be fixed in the latest CVS.

There's a known test failure in eigen/ with gcc-2.96 mentioned in the
MACHINES file in the distribution.  

For any other errors please send a bug report.
