Re: red hat 9 and ** libsavi library NOT FOUND

I was able to reproce this problem on my RH9 machine.
From config.log, compilation failes due to:
   lib/libsavi.so: undefined reference to `__ctype_b'

It seem that there were incompatible changes between
glibc versions.  In particular, current libsavi library was
compiled using GLIBC_2.1.3 (run ldd -v lib/libsavi.so to get
info), while current RH9 glibc is 2.3.2-27

Furthermore, I found this info on RH9 support forums:

  RHL9 and later is not going to be changed.
  The change was done on purpose.
  Binary compatibility in Linux is always guaranteed for just
  binaries and shared libraries accross releases, never .o files
  nor .a files. They have to be recompiled.
  This is how symbol versioning works, compilation needs to be done
  against glibc headers from glibc which is used during final link
  (new incompatible interfaces through symbol versioning are introduced
  pretty often, and old binaries/shared libraries will work because
  the old symbol is exported as symbol@old_symbolversion; but
  .o/.a files don't have symbol versions attached, so they always
  pick up the default symbol version (ie. symbol@@new_symbolversion)
  which does not have to be the function against which the object
  was compiled).
  For __ctype_b*, the decision to replace it by __ctype_b_loc etc.
  and disallow any new links against the old type were made because
  __ctype_b* does not work together with uselocale(3).
  These days, uselocale(3) is used quite often e.g. in libstdc++,
  so it is very bad idea to keep using __ctype_b etc.

Basically, you can do one of the following:
  1. Downgrade glibc (yuck)
  2. Compile on something like RH 7.3
  3. Bug Sophos to provide up to day build (I think we will all 
     benefit from this)...
