Looks like a created a chicken-and-the-egg problem.  You need 
the chicken to get the egg. But then where does the chicken 
come from?  :-)

I just whipped up a fix to use 'ld' directly for that step, 
bypassing the problem.  Change ld.so-1/d-link/libdl/Makefile
so it does
            $(LD) $(ELF_LDFLAGS) -o $(LIBDL).$(LDSO_VMAJOR) \
			 -soname $(LIBDL).$(LDSO_VMAJOR) *.o -lc

Also it looks like ld.so-1/Makefile needs to have the 'make install' 
target do
    mkdir -p $(TARGETDIR)/lib
so it will work properly.
