ld OS X: unknown option -z

Question

I'm trying to compile a particular package for multi simulation called MUSIC (https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC). I didn't have any problems to compile it on ubuntu but when I try to compile it on os x I get this error:

ld: unknown option: -z
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libmusic.la] Error 1

I tried almost everything: cross-compiling (the cross-compiler does not work), using ld installed with binutils... but I always get the same error.

Answer 1

I know it is an old question, but I will answer for the sake of completion.

This was solved with https://github.com/INCF/MUSIC/pull/24.

It turns out I got the same error when trying to compile csstidy. In my case I had to remove the linker flags directly in the Makefile.
