Hmmm...it sounds like maybe the server you copied libMagick.a from does
not have quite the same architecture or object file format as the server
you're compiling on.  It will take some time, but try copying this
library to libMagick.old, return to the top of the ImageMagick source
tree, and type "make libMagick.a."  What happens?
