ld doesn't understand that it is supposed to build a shared library. 
According to the solaris ld man page, -G is the flag to build a shared
library.  Also, according to the gcc ( version 3.3.3 ) man page,

       Options for System V
                                                                                                                                       
       These additional options are available on System V Release
       4 for compatibility with other compilers on those systems:
                                                                                                                                       
       -G  Create a shared object.  It is recommended that -sym-
           bolic or -shared be used instead.


A bug in gcc perhaps??  -G is on the command line but ld is still
linking against crt1.o.

I suggest hacking the Makefile by hand and changing this -G option to
-shared.  Does this fix it?
