 To just get it to build, you could try adding something like this to
 the makefile:
 
 BUILDLINK_TRANSFORM+=    rename:-Wl,-soname:-Wl,-h,
 
 It definitely seems that configure is confused, as I think for gnu ld
 it should produce:
   -Wl,-soname=libcharsest.so.1
 and for sun ld it should produce:
   -Wl,-h -Wl,libcharset.so.1
 but it is putting out a strange combination of both... it almost has
 to be something in your environment.  I'm not a configure guru, but
 maybe something in the config.log would show how that is happening?
 (if you want me to look at it, email direct rather than adding that
 much bulk to the pr.)
 
 If the hack above to get it to build is enough and you don't care, we
 could also close the pr, since I'm not sure where else to go with it.
 
 Thanks,
