Summary: fedora13 x64: make fails: symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'

Initial Comment:
Hello,

running make on fedora 13 x64 fails with the follwing error:

...
/usr/bin/ld: ../lib/auth/.libs/libAuth.a(authPosix.o): undefined reference to symbol 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5'
/usr/bin/ld: note: 'dlsym@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /lib64/libdl.so.2 so try adding it to the linker command line
/lib64/libdl.so.2: could not read symbols: Invalid operation
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [vmware-user] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/user/Downloads/open-vm-tools-2010.04.25-253928/vmware-user'
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

This can be fixed with setting LIBS prior to running configure:

export LIBS=-ldl
./configure 

Is this a fedora 13 error or related to open vm tools?

Message:
vmware-user is not part of open-vm-tools anymore, the current code should
compile and link fine.
