Ah, good find.  I maintain the clisp package for Fedora Linux, and it
looks like we have the same problem.  The trouble is that the linker
is trying to take only what it thinks it needs from libgnu.a, so you
have to force the issue.  I think this should do the trick:

sed -i 's/\(${GLLIB_A}\) \(${LIBS}\)/-Wl,--whole-archive \1
-Wl,--no-whole-archive \2/' src/makemake.in

That may lead to trouble later, as the second argument to ioctl
differs in both size and signedness between what clisp expects and
glibc provides.
