	Please do what it says; check config.log for details; at least look for
the check in there - usually the problem is some duff includes, overly
anal warning flags in CFLAGS, or something similar.

	You have some serious system / environment problem that would produce a
broken ORB silently without that check; that's why it's there. Perhaps
if you can't find the section in config.log, you can upload it somewhere
and post a URI.

	HTH,
