What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. svn checkout http://tesseract-ocr.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/
tesseract-ocr-read-only
2. ./runautoconf
3. ./configure
4. make

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I get the following error:

I don't know how to fix this but something to note is that although it says 
'error'
it's actually only a warning and the executable does get created and you can run
'make install' afterwards.

There was a binutils bug related to this but I don't know whether that was the
problem (it was already fixed in a 2.18 version and you are running 2.19, as am 
I).

I can confirm observation 3 by mika rento - on Ubuntu 9.04 tesseract 30 pre 
(august
20). The executable works OK.

This thread : http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-help/2009-04/msg00220.html seems to 
explain
the reason in more detail. Too hairy for me to fix, though :-(

Might be related to issue 268, which is fixed in 3.00, or might be related to 
the
cyclic dependency between textord and classify, which is fixed in 3.01 by 
removal of
compare_blobs.
