That's an odd error, since there is no "LL29" anywhere in the sources.
That name look suspiciously like a label that would appear in the 
compiler-generated assembly code.  One would suspect, therefore, that it
is a problem with your tools.

Check the version of your linker using "ld --version"; the GCC install notes
for Solaris say

    All releases of GNU binutils prior to 2.11.2 have known bugs on this 
    platform.  We recommend the use of GNU binutils 2.11.2 or the vendor
    tools (Sun as, Sun ld).
    http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*

Check that page for other potential pitfalls w.r.t GCC.  Other than that,
the only thing I could suggest is rebuild your GCC, assembler and binutils
tool chain.  Is it possible that they were built a while ago and the
system was subsequently upgraded to solaris 8?

Good luck,
