Yep.

try doing the configure with "env LDFLAGS="-L/usr/ucblib" ./configure ..."

Weird.  I've munged the Makefile before, and only problem I ever had was
trying to build a Solaris package from the makefile.  I gave up in
frustration.  

Did you try adding "-L/usr/ucblib" to the end of the LDFLAGS in the
Makefile. That should do it for you since I don't think there's a shared
library version in the /usr/ucblib directory.

Hope this helps.
