I found the problem!  The above suggestion didn't work, but got me to 
thinking:
$ ldconfig -p|grep exiv
        libexiv2-0.7.so (libc6) => /usr/lib/libexiv2-0.7.so
$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/libexiv2-0.7.so
libexiv2c2a: /usr/lib/libexiv2-0.7.so
$ sudo apt-get remove libexiv2c2a
[...]
$ sudo ldconfig

Make was then successful!  It was user error :-).  Thanks to all for the help 
and suggestions.  Now to play with RC1!!
