Linker says wrong ELFCLASS32, but building 32 bit .so

Question

Hi,
I'm having a problem building a 32 bit version of openssl 0.9.8k with SS 12.1 (SPARC). Everything compiles w/o a problem, but when it begins to link libcrypto.so, it fails with the following message:
ld: fatal: file /opt/ws/tools/sunstudio12.1/prod/lib/crti.o: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to /dev/null
/opt/ws/tools/sunstudio12.1/prod/bin/ipo: Error inside /usr/ccs/bin/ld
cc: ipo failed for libcrypto.so.0.9.8
Here's the options during the compile:
cc -I../crypto -I.. -I../include -DZLIB_SHARED -DZLIB -DOPENSSL_THREADS -DDSO_DLFCN -DHAVE_DLFCN_H -DPK11_LIB_LOCATION=\"/usr/lib/libpkcs11.so\" -g -xs -fast -fsimple=1 -fns=no -xtarget=ultraT1 -xarch=sparcvis2 -m32 -mt -xipo -xcode=pic32 -xpagesize=default -xregs=no%appl -xbuiltin=none -U__MATHERR_ERRNO_DONTCARE -xnolibmopt -xnolibmil -DB_ENDIAN -DBN_DIV2W -c -o kssl.o kssl.c
No problem creating static libraries:
ar r ../libssl.a s2_meth.o s2_srvr.o s2_clnt.o s2_lib.o s2_enc.o s2_pkt.o s3_meth.o s3_srvr.o s3_clnt.o s3_lib.o s3_enc.o s3_pkt.o s3_both.o s23_meth.o s23_srvr.o s23_clnt.o s23_lib.o s23_pkt.o t1_meth.o t1_srvr.o t1_clnt.o t1_lib.o t1_enc.o d1_meth.o d1_srvr.o d1_clnt.o d1_lib.o d1_pkt.o d1_both.o d1_enc.o ssl_lib.o ssl_err2.o ssl_cert.o ssl_sess.o ssl_ciph.o ssl_stat.o ssl_rsa.o ssl_asn1.o ssl_txt.o ssl_algs.o bio_ssl.o ssl_err.o kssl.o
ar: creating ../libssl.a
No output from ld beyond the errors mentioned above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Raj,
It took me a while to track down where the link options were being set. Here's the output:
