As I described - configure can't compile conftest.c stub
(with the purpose of testing of existance of the library libcomm_err)
because there are unresolved loader references, and as a result:
fatal error:
checking for error_message in -lcom_err... no

I don't see this error myself. I just unpacked febootstrap-3.12 from
the tarball, and ./configure && make works fine.
What does config.log say? checking for error_message in -lcom_err... no
So how/where your config finds sem_* symbols functions ?
or mebe your libcom_err is self-contained and does not reference them ?
On my fresh Fedora 16 -pthread cc option must be definded
becasue libcom_err is not self-contained and needs sem_* symbols
which option -pthread provides.

I'm fairly sure you don't need autoconf and automake, to build from
the tarball. Building from git does of course require these.
OCaml and ocaml-findlib are already mentioned in the README file.
