FYI I did some digging on this. It looks like the old build always uses 
-lc but the new build accidentally dropped that option. That wasn't 
noticed because the compiler we are using (SS12u1) introduced a bug - 
and that bug was to implicitly pass -lc when -G was used to create a 
shared library. The bug is fixed in SS12u2 and so, as Vincent 
discovered, the build failed until -lc was added back in.
