Hmmm... Are you passing some non-default arguments to the configure script?
If you run configure with no arguments, or use configure.developer and
optional --enable-debug, you should find that the examples link with no
errors. Please let me know if that's not the case.

Someone has created a Makefile.internal that is built from
Makefile.internal.in. I'm not sure when that was created (I actually didn't
even realize until just now that it existed). You might try updating it with
all of the recent examples, and see if it links properly. Maybe it's time to
obsolete the manually-generated Makefile and move over to this
auto-generated one...
