This looks like a binutils issue. You should never see a relocation type
of `R_X86_64_NONE' assigned to `__sF' (the internal libc variable holding
the first 3 `FILE' objects-stdin, stdout, stderr).

Can you post the build log for this and the

/var/work/pkgsrc/pkgtools/pkg_install/work/libfetch/libfetch.a

file itself?
