no experience, but it looks, as if the linker is not able to resolve
the library files. on many machine, order matters for linking libraries 
and if you put them in LDFLAGS, they will be loaded
_first_  (which will have them ignored, since there is yet no
undefined symbol.). please compare to the regular make.sys file, where
those libraries are in LIBOBJS which will have them loaded _after_
all code.

no surprise here. cp.x has a few files that strain the optimizer to the 
max. try recompiling the failing files with lower optimization.

hope that helps,
