Bro 1.3.x / FC5 / Linking Issue

I was trying to build Bro 1.3.2 on FC5. Im running into linking issues and I wanted to see if there is a known fix before I start racking my brain on this.

It appears to be having problems with externally defined functions. These problem do not exist for 1.2.x on the same system.

Here is a sample of the linking and errors:

I was trying to build Bro 1.3.2 on FC5. Im running into linking issues and I
wanted to see if there is a known fix before I start racking my brain on
this.

Not a known problem to my knowledge.

`bro_new_handler':/root/BUILD/Bro/bro-1.3.2/src/main.cc:373: undefined
reference to `out_of_memory(char const*)'
...

All of the missing functions are in util.o, so the problem is either that
util.o didn't build correctly (and is an empty object) or your linker is
somehow not loading it like it's supposed to.

The util object file seems to have built fine and it is present in the linking.
I will take a look at the loader to see what I can determine.
