From Bugzilla [bug #7827 (closed)]:

Getting this on RHEL7_x86_64:

Linking VCDiff
vcdiff_wrapper.o: In function `__static_initialization_and_destruction_0':
/usr/include/c++/4.8.2/iostream:74: undefined reference to `__dso_handle'
/usr/bin/ld: vcdiff_wrapper.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined
hidden symbol `__dso_handle' can not be used when making a shared object
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Linking failed:

I think Pike/8.0: c65cf769 could be the cause. It claims to improve FreeBSD linking, but also adds "-nostartfiles" to Linux builds (and possibly other OSes). Is that the idea?
