Perhaps removing -O2 optimization would help.  Do a 'make clean' then
remove the -O2 flag from the CFLAGS variable in src/Makefile. Then run
make in the src directory and see what happens.

Maybe you're not using the system compiler?  Sounds like binutils and
gcc are not compatible with each other.

What's the output of these commands?:
  which gcc
  which ld
  gcc -v
  ld -v
  uname -a

Maybe someone has a similar system and could reproduce it.
