Chris,

I am *not* a Gnuru, but I can tell you libct.la is an output of libtool, so 
your
problem starts earlier.  Here are the contents of one from 5.0:
-- snip --
# libct.la - a libtool library file
# Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.3.3 (1.385.2.181 1999/07/02 15:49:11)
#
# Please DO NOT delete this file!
# It is necessary for linking the library.

# The name that we can dlopen(3).
dlname=''

# Names of this library.
-- snip --

Just to check the oil: Are you using gmake?  Mine's version 3.79.1.  Did 
everything
really go swimmingly until libct.la wasn't found?

You know the advice about teaching pig to sing?  It won't work and it annoys 
the
pig.  Anyone who'll help you reads this list.

The fellow who can best answer your question hasn't been around lately, 
probably
wooed by money or some other similarly base cause.  But my bet is the 
Makefile is
fine and the problem is environmental.
