Bingo.

For some reason, autoconf isn't adding -lnsl to the link line. 
Unfortunately, I'm not certain what the right way to correct this is. 
It's probably something that should be handled internally to autoconf, 
not explicitly added.

Will you please investigate this?  It's something best done by the 
person with access to the machine in question.
