I don't see this error myself.  I just unpacked febootstrap-3.12 from
the tarball, and ./configure && make works fine.

What does config.log say?

I'm fairly sure you don't need autoconf and automake, to build from
the tarball.  Building from git does of course require these.

OCaml and ocaml-findlib are already mentioned in the README file.

As I described - configure can't compile conftest.c stub
(with the purpose of testing of existance of the library libcomm_err)
because there are unresolved loader references, and as a result:
fatal error:

So how/where your config finds sem_* symbols functions ?
or mebe your libcom_err is self-contained and does not reference them ?

On my fresh Fedora 16 -pthread cc option must be definded
becasue libcom_err is not self-contained and needs sem_* symbols
which option -pthread provides.
