And that is IMVHO the correct fix here, too. Would love to be beaten to pushing the fix though. > I did that and it > solves the problem.

Well, the problem is that some of the above won't cause failures in every case, for example -lc and -lgcc. So we might not notice that we should drop these flags. Also, trying to drop them one by one, or adding them one by one is not necessarily sufficient to find a suitable set, as there may be interdependencies between the libraries. The last point is mostly moot on all modern systems, due to working interdependent library linking.
