Thanks, this was exactly on the right track. It seems some 'extern int
errno's had found their way into our Fortran<->C bindings (along with
several other externs for some unknown reason. Removing them and
replacing them with correct header usage has allowed the library to
compile.

It is interesting that this only fails in certain circumstances, it
doesn't break a .o or linking against a .a but it does break a .so. I
will have to experiment on other platforms.
