config.log from attempt SDL library build. Still no .so files output

Ok, I've started with a new haiku image, built libiconv first and then tried SDL again, it seems it's tripping on -lc:

configure:8437: checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in
configure:8442: gcc -c -I/boot/home/config/include -I./include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1  -I./include -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 conftest.c >&5
configure:8445: $? = 0
configure:8460: gcc -nostart conftest.o  -v -Wl,-soname -Wl,conftest -o conftest 2\>\&1 \| grep  -lc  \>/dev/null 2\>\&1
configure:8463: $? = 1
configure:8475: result: yes

If I then try to use ./configure with --build=i586-beos, all works fine. So it seems there might be something wrong with haiku at this point?

Opened a Haiku ticket for the -lc check issue:  http://dev.haiku-os.org/ticket/2271

This appears to be a defective operator issue. It was caused by me pasting haiku* a few too many times, putting it in a couple of places where it should have been *-*-haiku*, thus causing the -lc to creep in where it wasn't creeping in for beos builds. I now have SDL building .so and .a/.la libs as i586-pc-haiku.
