That is pretty standard on most systems.

This is only used for the asm files see (libgcrypt/mpi/Makefile.am) and
not the problem at hand.

I guess the problem is with the the version script feature of GNU
linkers.  What does

  grep HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT config.status

show?  On a GNU system this should yield

S["HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT_FALSE"]="#"
S["HAVE_LD_VERSION_SCRIPT_TRUE"]=""

If this is the case something is wrong with the linker for the system,
disable this feature using

  ./configure --disable-ld-version-script

and try building again.
