Guile 1.6.4 fails to build on Solaris 7 (& 9) x86 due to
usage of inappropiate flags to ld.

Guile (libguile/gc_os_dep.c) use a function (_start) located in the
C-runtime (crt0.o) but the build-process links the library with the
flags "-z defs" which obviously fails since the runtime is not linked to a
shared-library, only exectutables.

Removing "-z defs" from link-flags fixes the problem.
