I think the problem is "binutils installed via pkgsrc", from the pkgsrc
guide (which you yourself wrote):

"Please note that the use of GNU binutils on Solaris is not supported,
as of June 2006."

I encountered a similar problem recently on opensolaris (nevada, build
66,sparc) and could be remedied by rebuilding libtool with the following in
my mk.conf for good measure:
TOOLS_PLATFORM.ar=      /usr/ccs/bin/ar
TOOLS_PLATFORM.nm=      /usr/ccs/bin/nm
TOOLS_PLATFORM.ranlib=  /usr/ccs/bin/ranlib
USE_TOOLS+=             ar nm ranlib

Cheers,
Jonathan.
