The last time I saw a problem like this, it turned out that:

1) I had binutils installed in my PATH
2) libtool configured itself for GNU ld
3) gcc configured itself for /usr/ccs/bin/ld
4) libtool passes -Wl,-soname to gcc (and hence, /usr/ccs/bin/ld)
5) ld gets confused about -soname and gives up

The usual workaround is configuring with --with-as and --with-ld.

The patch below also fixed it for me... I don't know why it was never
applied:
