If you don't need OpenAL or ALUT, then I suggest you configure with 
--disable-openal.

OpenAL was updated in 6.4.2.  I thought the new version handled 
compatibility with different versions of the OpenAL library better 
(indeed that's why it was updated), but it appears not.  I'm hoping Sven 
Panne, the author of OpenAL, will be able to shed some light.

Cheers,
