The platform/OS would be an interesting information. Also, if this is
a default install or any special options, CFLAGS or LDFLAGS were given.

Strange. libsane.so shouldn't use inb/outb at all. libsane.so ist just
libsane-dll.so.

Can you (I mean the original author) show the output of:

ls -l backend/.libs/libsane.so
nm backend/.libs/libsane.so

The full compile log leading to this error message and the output of
./configure.

I remember this one also. However:

* configure already sets CFLAGS="-g -O2" if gcc is found. At least
  with gcc-3.0, and Linux/x86.
* even if I set CFLAGS to "", I don't get this error.
