Not exactly, but I think I've seen something similar on ppc a long
while ago.

Turns out my original problem was in January last year (fixed by
not using a patch before we were in the native build), and last June
I found out the real cause of the problem:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.cross/811
Please read that, then try configuring with whatever else you had
plus AR="${AR} rc". Then we can start to wonder why this problem
has suddenly appeared.
But, maybe you have applied the zlib -fPIC patch in chapter 6? If
so, please try again without it (that patch is for the final system).
