Ugh.  This sort of error is difficult to track down.  The culprit is 
probably buried deep within custom-macros.h.

If you're not going to use SSQLS, it's probably best to just ignore it.

It's helpful if you can run resetdb and the simple* examples at least, 
to test the library.  Since you're getting to custom1 before you have 
problems, these examples are already built.

I don't see why not.  It works here.

Near the end of the configure script output, you should see "will NOT 
build examples".  Do you?
