The problem is that c++ is getting invoked with |-Wl,-h,| which looks like it means that DSO_SONAME is missing. It's clear to me why -- the Makefile sources autoconf.mk, which defines MKSHLIB in terms of $(DSO_SONAME), but nothing sets that. I don't know how it's supposed to work. (rules.mk might set it properly, but it sees that MKSHLIB has already been set.) If I --disable-elf-hack, the build works. So it's not that everything is messed up. This is a clobber build. I haven't tried a fresh clone build.
