It is a known problem: bug ID 1011141.  To fix:

 - become root on the machine containing /usr/lib/liblwp.a
 - cp /usr.lib/liblwp.a /usr/lib/liblwp.a.bak
 - cd /tmp
 - Create the file fix.s with two lines:
   .globl REGOFFSET
   REGOFFSET=8
 - cc -c fix.s
 - cp /usr/lib/liblwp.a . (still in /tmp)
 - ar u liblwp.a fix.o
 - mv liblwp.a /usr/lib
 - chmod 644 /usr/lib/liblwp.a
 - ranlib /usr/lib/liblwp.a

This procedure (and a version for Sun-4's) is in the Dec88 Software
