"-dn" for the linker is apparently caused by "-static" for the driver.
Manually repeating the above gcc-call without "-static" should
work, as "-Wl,-Bstatic" already suffices.

configuring without "--enable-static-linking" and making with

> make STATIC_LD= LOCAL_LIBS='-Wl,-B,dynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib -ldl
                               -Wl,-B,static'

should work also.

BTW, "-Wl,-L/etc/lib" (aka "-L/etc/lib") might also be necessary,
as "-R" is not evaluated for the compile time search path
and /usr/lib interestingly enough is not always searched (for me).

When experimenting, whatch out for a second "-ldl" wrongly not
surrounded by the "-Wl,-Bstatic ... dynamic", as it might (amazingly)
get wrong the compile time search path again:

  $ gcc -L./builtins [...]
  -Wl,-B,dynamic -Wl,-R/etc/lib -ldl -Wl,-B,static -Wl,-L/etc/lib -lintl -ldl
  ld: fatal: library -ldl: not found

no matter if "-Wl,-L/etc/lib" or "-L/etc/lib" (as gcc knows about
the -R and -L options for ld(1) on Solaris well).
