Sorry that jigdo is causing so much trouble.

The C++ of the configure test is very hairy, jigdo doesn't actually
use template specialization, so this warning might be bogus. I should
probably change the configure test.

It seems you have a linker problem both with the native compiler and
g++. The libdb and gettext tests all call the linker. Once that is
resolved, ./configure --without-gui (maybe also --disable-nls) should
work.

I've seen this myself on a Solaris machine with gcc - still need to
get around to check what's causing it.

I'm very interested in getting it to compile cleanly on your machine.
I guess it's not possible for me to get an account on your uni's
machine so I can fix it myself?

Ah OK, I see.
