[btOOL] compilation fails on 64-bit machine

[Harlan H. <har...@ny...>]

Hi, I'm trying to build Text::BibTeX on a 64-bit Red Hat machine. Here's 
the output of uname -a:

Linux machine.name 2.6.9-22.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jan 5 17:11:56 EST 2006 
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

And here's the output of perl -v:

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for x86_64-linux-thread-multi

The btparse build goes perfectly fine, as does "make check". When I go 
to build the Perl stuff, though I get an error that's beyond my ability 
to comprehend:

gcc -c  -Ibtparse/src -D_REENTRANT -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUGGING

btparse/src/.libs/libbtparse.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

make: *** [blib/arch/auto/Text/BibTeX/BibTeX.so] Error 1

What does this mean? How do I fix it? Thanks,
