That's a bug in the rule using nm then, though.

Using *_LDFLAGS for -l flags is wrong though because it might mess up
the ordering of libraries, at least for static linking. You might get
away with this here because -lm is probably added from some other bit as
well, but in general that is not a good idea.
Do you have a better suggestion?
And, do you have time to review my patch at:

Regarding the first part, i.e. whether libquadmath should only be build
with Fortran or always, there is no consensus; so far I only saw two
definite statements and a couple of no-opinions and a maybe-not, though
for the latter it was not clear to me whether it was due to the build
issues or going beyond. -- However, I am more interested in the second
part, i.e. getting libquadmath to build with cross compilers and under
Solaris.
