In this case, "configure" is misleading you.  The log file you attach
shows the following:

So we know that libEBTKS was found, in file /usr/local/mni/lib/libEBTKS.a
Is that where you expected it?

In plain language, the linker is saying that function
MString::Mstring() found in libEBTKS requires function
std::_Format_cache<char>, which cannot be found.  This often indicates
that you have upgraded the C++ comiler or system libc since libEBTKS
was built.  Try rebuilding libEBTKS.
