my configuration:
Solaris-10, GCC 4.8.2, GNU ld 2.25, GLIB 2.45.2

/MY_BIN/bin/make

GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.25
When compiling this GLIB, it fails during the compilation of its 'gmodule'
with the following error:
...

Doing a 'make' in that 'gmodule' subdir on its own yields exactly the same
error:
cd /MY_SRC/glib-2.45.2/gmodule; make
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/MY_SRC/glib-2.45.2/gmodule'

In the 'Makefile' of that directory, I added on line 949 an 'echo' command
of what it does to compile target 'libgmodule-2.0.la', prior to letting this
command execute as it normally does:
vi Makefile
...
libgmodule-2.0.la: $(libgmodule_2_0_la_OBJECTS)
$(libgmodule_2_0_la_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_libgmodule_2_0_la_DEPENDENCIES)
@echo "$(AM_V_CCLD)$(libgmodule_2_0_la_LINK) -rpath $(libdir)
$(libgmodule_2_0_la_OBJECTS) $(libgmodule_2_0_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)"
$(AM_V_CCLD)$(libgmodule_2_0_la_LINK) -rpath $(libdir)
$(libgmodule_2_0_la_OBJECTS) $(libgmodule_2_0_la_LIBADD) $(LIBS)
This gives a little more info about which exact 'ld' command-line is failing:
cd /MY_SRC/glib-2.45.2/gmodule; make
make all-am
make[1]: Entering directory `/MY_SRC/glib-2.45.2/gmodule'

Suspecting the option "-Wl,--export-dynamic" , I remove that one from the
command-line :
cd /MY_SRC/glib-2.45.2/gmodule; /bin/bash ../libtool --silent --tag=CC
--mode=link /MY_BIN/bin/gcc -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes
-Werror=declaration-after-statement -Werror=missing-prototypes

-Werror=init-self -Werror=format=2 -Werror=missing-include-dirs
-fvisibility=hidden -g -O2 -version-info 4502:0:4502 -export-dynamic -o
libgmodule-2.0.la -rpath /MY_BIN/lib libgmodule_2_0_la-gmodule.lo
../glib/libglib-2.0.la -lintl
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgmodule-2.0.so.0" && ln -s
"libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4502.0" "libgmodule-2.0.so.0")
libtool: link: (cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgmodule-2.0.so" && ln -s
"libgmodule-2.0.so.0.4502.0" "libgmodule-2.0.so")
libtool: link: ( cd ".libs" && rm -f "libgmodule-2.0.la" && ln -s
"../libgmodule-2.0.la" "libgmodule-2.0.la" )
-> SUCCESS !
So why is this "-Wl,--export-dynamic" breaking the "ld" ?
When I check the documented options for this 'ld' program:
% ld --help | grep 'export-dynamic'
-E, --export-dynamic Export all dynamic symbols
--no-export-dynamic Undo the effect of --export-dynamic
Does anyone know what could possibly going wrong here ?
