I think it's down to a bug in binutils. I had similar errors when compiling
NetBSD release for sparc64. They have incorporated patches into NetBSD-current
that seem to fix such problems

See my PR report:
http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=29689

Also the following line:

>  cc -O2 -O3 -Wall -DHAVE_AV_CONFIG_H -I.. -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
> -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_GNU_SOURCE -c ratecontrol.c -o ratecontrol.o

redirects error messages to /dev/null, so you can't see why it's failing.
