I haven't been following this discussion in detail.

But...

I am concerned that you are working not at the bleeding edge, but beyond 
it a bit. And are trying to solve problems that shouldn't be yours - in 
that beta8 is a work in progress that has been focusing not only on 
numpy compatibility but on some Windows specific build issues, and that 
there has been some futzing with Makefile.in (that I think Bruce checked 
in) that address those, but without, at the moment, thinking through the 
crossplatform implications, mainly because we haven't finalized what the 
keepers are, even for Windows.

That being said, I think Bruce successfully did a Linux build from the 
cvs as late as yesterday with no apparent problems.

Coming in late, but looking at your build log where everything looks 
rather sensible.

Is it clear where -lboost_python -lboost_thread are being found. 

Presumably you are using a binary distro of these libs that are placing 
them somewhere standard.  I mention it because when I have built those 
libraries, on Linux, or Windows I have had to handle them with kid 
gloves, re: naming and install issues.

Beyond those clues, which might not be clues, don't have a clue what you 
might be running into.
