I have problems on i386-sni-sysv4 (SINIX-M) and mips-sni-sysv4 (SINIX-N).
Both end with strange linker messages during the final link run. One misses
somehow libdl
/usr/local/i386-sni-sysv4/bin/ld: cannot open -ldl: No such file or directory
and the other complains about a wrong option -i
/usr/ccs/bin/ld: Illegal option -- i
I'll try it again with the GNU ld but I'm sure that all this worked at some
point in the past.

Bye, Uwe
