Not sure about Marco, but I wasn't; ./configure gives:

checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no
checking whether the gcc linker (/usr/bin/ld) supports shared libraries... yes
checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... yes
checking dynamic linker characteristics... solaris2.11 ld.so
checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate
checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes
checking for ld used by GCC... /usr/bin/ld
checking if the linker (/usr/bin/ld) is GNU ld... no

There *is* a linker script being used:

I guess that is the problem, but I don't know how to fix it and unable
to find a magic set of compile options to work around it (besides
disable-shared, which ultimately precludes compiling DBD::Sybase).

This also doesn't fix it:
./configure CC=gcc LD=gld
