I started digging into the "make" version I'm running, as you suggested.  
One of my co-workers has a binary of make 3.78.1 off in his own little
area.  It's not in the path anywhere, but I can path to it and compile
0.51 without any errors, but I still get a symbol referencing error like
below (I assume I'm missing a library I need to include).  I might be able
to figure out which library is missing, but still have two questions.

Questions:  

1. Can I simply path to the make without it being in the path?  Won't
"configure" have trouble testing things if it isn't the default compiler?

2. How do I tell ./configure about the new libs?
