Hi Gus,
I have not added any flags that include static, but when I do a
verbose compilation output for the point where error occurs, I see
that there are some -Bstatic flags. I tried to manually remove the
-Bstatic included just before the libopen-pal.so library, and that
particular line then compiled without error. But then while doing
overall build, the same error occurs at multiple points.

I will try to use the latest nightly tarball and see if it works.

Thanks a lot.

Abhinav
