I got the same error... well with 398 instead of 402...:) I got over it,
anyway
and now kaffe is installed correctly (I just have to configure the ENV
settings) :)
What I did -if I remember correctly- is remove the -lc from the ld line. I set
it up to produce shared libs -I don't know if it is the standard way. If you
do the same, you probably should test this. Beware though, that my libc is
from another system -Ignatios sent it to me after I got in a dreaded
situation. I suppose it is a standard one, otherwise this prob might show up
elsewhere. Anyway, it makes sense since I use a shared lib and there's no need
to include the libc in the archive. (I think there's a -lm definition, too it
might not get used at all).

Note, I compiled it successfully but haven' tested it yet... AFAIK, I may talk
nonsense...:)
