I did a complete build a week ago with no errors.

>In both of these cases the Makefile in the library subdirectory has has "MKLINKLIB=no", consequently when later programs are linked with -lbfd or -lamu they don't find a library to link againt. There is a libbfd_pic.a and a libamu_pic.a in the obj directory however.


>So could someone tell me if the correct fix is to change the link lines to -lbfd_pic and -lamu_pic or what to get this to build. (the obvious fix of commenting out the MKLINKLIB also works but I'm obviously missing why it is there in the first place)

It there because only the shared version of the library is being made.  Unless you have
NOPIC= in your mk.conf, this should not be a problem.
