Most probably due to this one :)

Don't know if this one and the related ones have an impact. I could be 
wrong, but I don't see any similar warnings here. Well, I DON'T use fink.

You may try to build your chain with --disable-shared. But then, in case 
you build libgcj, this one will not work.

Personally I find it a bit strange to set linker flags in the
