DevOps, CI/CD and Automation

I'm using a Solaris 5.8 workstation, and I'm attempting to compile a C++ application which uses a C library, glpng. Building the application without glpng and disabling the code which utilizes this library works fine. However, once glpng is added to the make files, I get the following error (some specifics have been left out for brevity and security purposes):

% make
CC -g -o ../test/program [multiple *.o files] [additional directives]
ild: Fatal error -- signal 11. Exiting.
*** Error code 245
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `../test/program'

My boss has asked me to look into this problem and see if I can figure anything out (he wrote the code, and apparently the code compiles and links just fine on Windows (MSVS) and Mac), specifically concerning this "Error code 245". It looks like everything compiles just fine, just there's a (nondescript) linking problem. I'm on unfamiliar ground here, as I haven't had too much experience working with Solaris or doing interlanguage linking. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,
