It looked wired to me as well, but removing them (even when adding a
-L../glob to the command line) yielded me "file not found" errors for
both fnmatch.o and glob.o.

The output above was with LDFLAGS and --with-... arguments to configure,
to convince it to find my local BLAS libraries (installed in /usr/local,
I wonder why the configure script doesn't find them). I'm retrying now
a plain 'configure && gmake' run. In the meantime, I can give access to
FreeBSD machines to anyone willing to test portability.
