Problem building libproc.so.0.99

I have just down-loaded procps-0.99a.tar.gz and tried to build it with
the SHARED option turned on. It failed with:

ld -shared -Wl,-soname,libproc.so.0.99 -o libproc.so.0.99 alloc.o compare.o
devn
ame.o output.o pwcache.o readproc.o signals.o snap.o status.o sysinfo.o version.
o whattime.o
ld: unrecognized option `-Wl,-soname,libproc.so.0.99'

I can find no reference to a -W option for ld anywhere and the above syntax
does not look like the -W option on gcc so I am at a loss.

Where do I find the remedy please?

Cheers and thanks,
Stephen.

PS. The static version seems to build without problem. (After I fixed a few
library paths)
