Hi Max,

I ran into the same trouble. There are a couple of lines in that file like

  switch ( msgType.getValue() [ 0 ] )

Somehow - weird enough - the compiler cannot branch properly here, as the data 
type is char, instead of int. If you replace these lines with:
  switch ( int(msgType.getValue() [ 0 ]) )

then all unit tests will pass.

Just for info, as I ran into the same problem last week and solved a bit 
differently: One can also remove these flags from SHAREDFLAGS variable by 
editing the configure script.
