It is true, so far we have only seen the link command, not the one used
for compilation. To see the results of configure on make and base would
also help to diagnose the issue.

I think that Andreas problem comes from one of the other libraries he is
linking in not being properly compiled. He should try to find out which
one. The obvious first candidates are ffcall and freetype, but it might
as well be one of the other libraries of the system (libobjc springs to
mind).
