I seem to be missing something really obvious here.  I've modified the 
Makefile so it looks like this:

CONFIG_ARGS=     'CC=gcc -mcpu=v9 -m64 -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1' 
'LDFLAGS=-mcpu=v9 -m64'

ran the make, and it still comes up with the same error.  I've even 
tried running it with LDFLAGS=-64, with the same result.
