Is the linker finding your modified version of the library?
Are the environment variables `LDFLAGS', `LIBS', `LIBPATH' and
`LD_LIBRARY_PATH' set appropriately?

`LIBPATH' may not be used, I don't know, and `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' is used at
run-time, but it doesn't hurt to set them to sensible values.

This is what `configure --help' has to say on the subject:

Some influential environment variables:
  CC          C compiler command
  CFLAGS      C compiler flags
  LDFLAGS     linker flags, e.g. -L<lib dir> if you have libraries in a
              nonstandard directory <lib dir>
  LIBS        libraries to pass to the linker, e.g. -l<library>
  CPPFLAGS    C/C++/Objective C preprocessor flags, e.g. -I<include dir>
if
              you have headers in a nonstandard directory <include dir>
  PKG_CONFIG  path to pkg-config utility
  CPP         C preprocessor
  CXX         C++ compiler command
  CXXFLAGS    C++ compiler flags
  CXXCPP      C++ preprocessor
