Well, me too. I concurr with Stephane, that symbol is defined in
TeXmacs source code. To me, it looks like a problem during dynamic
link of TeXmacs itself.

Maybe building MIXED_TEXMACS would help... That gets rid of those
pointless shared libraries that only TeXmacs uses and which are always
loaded.

You should also try a recent experimental release. I recommend trying
a version post-1.0.0.10, maybe some alledged nogencc bug would fix
your build.

Your problem should never appear with any sane build system, but that
looks sane...
