I did just see a similar problem, but it was related with re'configure'ing
of the project sources with a different --prefix. It seems that the
libtool .la file is not updated with the new prefix, I had to `make clean`
before it got it right. Perhaps there's a similar thing about your stuff
here that the linker script (.la) has an old prefix from an earlier build?

have fun,
