It is customary to provide a link for the tool you are referring to with these type of posts. There can be multiple programs with same/similar names. Please add that information to your original post.

It's probably more appropriate to open an issue on GitHub.

I see a Makefile so my first guess would be make.

But I would always suggest to install from (bio)conda.

What OS are you compiling on? What version of gcc and binutils?

I was able to compile on RHEL with gcc 4.8.x. So you should be able to.

What do you see with ld -v?

What about using the bioconda method suggested by @Wouter?
