Alan, for my curiosity, could you explain this particular line from g++'s 
output (from dhd's message)?

../build/obj/cmdline/apt-get.o(.gnu.linkonce.t.__tf10LogCleaner+0x1c):
cannot handle R_PARISC_PCREL17F for pkgArchiveCleaner type_info function

that seems to be causing the "undefined" symbol messages.
