The reason it doesn't work, is because the shared objects are missing:
it will not load .a files, only .sos. (More or less...)

Could you perhaps send a complete build log, along with the output of
configure? (Privately to me works aswell, as the full log might be too
big for the list)

I might be able to figure out why the shared libs did not get built.

In the mean time, as a workaround, I'd suggest compiling syslog-ng in an
emulator instead: that's a lot slower, but I know that it works, that's
how I got syslog-ng onto my router ;)
