We had some trouble with compiling lots of software (openLDAP, several
perl modules, imageMagick) for Solaris 10 - reason for it was Suns ld:
checking for ld used by gcc... /usr/ccs/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no
checking for /usr/ccs/bin/ld option to reload object files... -r
So, I would suggest trying GNU ld:
mv /usr/ccs/bin/ld /usr/ccs/bin/ld_Solaris
install GNU ld
ln -s <gnuld_binary> /usr/ccs/bin/ld
and then try again.
If it does not work, just undo the mv and ln and your system is as before.
