We could automatically add that if the OS is IRIX and we're using the SGI
compiler.  It sounds like it should be safe according to:

Or we could just add a note suggesting that if you hit this problem, you
should try adding "LDFLAGS=-no_prelink" to the configure command.  E.g.:

./configure LDFLAGS=-no_prelink

Hmm, that may be a sideeffect of the prelinking I guess.

Are you building in the source directory, or in a separate directory?

Could you try installing GNU make to see if it behaves the same way?
