... John, this treatment of a parameter [notice the '-' in
the purported file '-lc'] as a file usually means that a
./configure has mis-identified a compilation binary to use,
and a blank substitution resulted, causing the parameter
[here, -lc], to be promoted through the implicit 'shift' over
from the empty field.
Turning to your thought, in doing 'stealth' upgrades, update
the 'binutils' and make early on, and you should find that the
problems disappear.
