Why the hell are you working with 2.2.7?  We are working on -current (3.0)
and even so, 2.2.8 has been out for quite a long time.

This configure line is way broken.

I'm unsure if you're totally ignoring my advice on how to build this
properly.  **PLEASE** check the archives of this list for my email.

I think you need to work on this a lot more before you get involved with
this effort.

Get 3.0, read my message, look at the archive for Kapil's hints and my
message.

I'm not even close to an expert on this stuff, but following the posts
Kapil and I have made isn't that difficult.
