This is not GNU related. It's ld related. This is known as bug 182244. There is an error in the makefile (proc.mk). There is also a patch available (a new makefile). The error occurs when trying to (re-)link just about anything on a box with SPARC architecure (cg92 is SPARC V8, cg89 is SPARC). Please call Oracle customer support to get this patch. Note: this patch is only need for cg89-machines, e.g. without the 1 MB on-board super-cache.
