This means you have a broken compiler or linker or you've done something 
bizarre.

Is there a file lwlib/liblw.a present? If not, then you also have a 
broken make program because it should have bailed out if a prerequisite 
for a target failed to build.

I would strongly recommend you remove the lwtools source tree completely 
and start again fresh. DO NOT do any step of the build as root. DO NOT 
use sudo for any step of the build. The only step that needs root access 
is installing to /usr/local/bin/ and you can skip that step and manually 
copy the binaries wherever you want them.
