heh, I actually had that thread bookmarked.

Anyway I took the suggestion and modified the libtool files.  And it 
didn't work.  I still got the same error message.  What I did next was 
look for occurrences of "const struct", and noticed some in the 
programs that I had problems with.  xgettext was one program and the 
long options struct was defined with "static const struct".  When I 
removed the const from there and recompiled, the program worked.

I tried this with the other programs that I was having problems with, 
and they all started working.  I'm still baffled but I have the 
programs working now.
