this is probably caused by the binary linked against libopenscenegraph65 and the libraries against libopenscenegraph80
rebuilding it seems to solve the issue.
see bug 749249 for a patch to fix the build failure

This bug was fixed in the package flightgear - 2.0.0-4ubuntu1

---------------
flightgear (2.0.0-4ubuntu1) oneiric; urgency=low

  [ Julian Taylor ]
  * utils/propmerge/Makefile.in: patch to unconditionaly link with sgmisc with
    --no-as-needed. This fixes a FTBFS because of missing symbols (LP: #749249)

  * Rebuilt also fixes LP: #827667

  [ Fabrice Coutadeur ]
  * debian/rules: copy config.guess and config.sub in configure-stamp instead of
    clean target to keep the diff as small as possible
