I got the same errors trying to build on an old Ubuntu box.  I believe
I got around it by disabling the --as-needed option passed to the
linker with the following patch to the top level wscript file:

diff --git a/wscript b/wscript
index 92c2594..93fc992 100755

     # It also results in faster load time.

     if not conf.CHECK_NEED_LC("-lc not needed"):
         conf.ADD_LDFLAGS('-lc', testflags=False)
