I think I was a little fast and loose with the description of my
problem, or maybe I don't understand what you're saying.

In building Snd as Snd-FTH I ran configure, then make. During the final
link step, the linkers reported hundreds of unresolved references from
functions starting with the "fth_" prefix.

To fix this, I went to the Snd makefile and added the argument "-lfth"
because I asssumed that Snd would need to link to this library to find
the above unresolved references. The argument -lfth appeared to be
missing from the final link command as created by configure.

The re-build ("make") proceeded silently, indicating to me the
references had been resolved. I ran snd-fth and got a message that it
couldn't find libfth.0.so. I ran ldconfig against /usr/local/lib and
re-ran snd-fth and everything was OK then.

I'm pretty sure this is what happened, the whole build was a lot more
focussed than my initial OS X builds. :-)

Best, Charles
