You're right.  I took a closer look at the output.  It is trying to
create the libtwin.so file and fails.  Then it tries to use this
file to create some other shared libraries, and these are the errors
I had been seeing.  Unfortunately, I know nothing about creating
shared libraries, and I'm having a hard time finding the problem.

Thanks
