1. Other software developers generated the affected library successfully.

Examples:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/opal.git
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libopal3.10.9
https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?project=openSUSE%3AFactory&package=opal

So I wonder why I stumble on "undefined references" for my build configuration
variant. I expect that all needed symbols should be available also for the
linker. Why can they not be resolved here?


2. The shown configuration test is generated by the Autotools. The command
contains duplicate options and preprocessor symbols. I dared to shorten the call
a bit. Why are the displayed messages so different after my adjustment?
