Looks like -soname is parsed as switchname instead of -s.
Manpage or try -s  ?

Some tools have pesty differences between platforms. hexdump -s 0x08 -n 0x10 gives bad -n format error on linux but no output on freebsd at all. hexdump -s 0x08 - n 16 will work on both. The error output on freebsd is just not there (maybe in return code but i haven't checked). It's strange that a hex tool does not understand hex in all places.

What if the variable is wrong defined? Does hacking the compiler command for ld work? Like forcing  LD=echo "$oname";ld  in the makefile?

Regards

Kai
