The cause of this is likely setting the variable LD= in your environment. Due to a bunch of complicated things, upstream expects LD to be a CCLD, aka: a CC which can link, like GCC. Its nuts, but upstream are hard to reason with, and their tools are a gordian knot which makes this hard to workaround. Its a real bug, but atm, I'm not sure how to deal with it in ways that don't involve hired goons. Also, please note that the autoconf behaviour mentioned in the linked ticket is not necessarily actual autoconf, but somebody elses re-imagining/interpretation of what autoconf is, which may or may not be the same thing.
Can't do much here.
