Both from libdl

That's another problem, you could start by disabling the debug support 
(don't use migdb).
I think that vasprintf is a GNU extension, it works like vsprintf but it 
allocates a buffer for the result instead of asking for one already 
allocated. It can be easily replaced for Solaris.

Also from libdl.

Here is the problem (--static) ...

libdl is there ...

And you can find it.

I think the problem is that you don't have libdl.a and you are 
requesting static linking. Did you try without --static?
