Can you tell me more about your build environment? What Linux distribution are you using? When I build NGINX on Debian 8.3 with GCC 4.9.2, I don't run into this problem. If you use the version of the build rules I just pushed (6b88b31), do you still get the same error?

Environment

# cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core) 
# uname -a
Linux centos7 3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 19 22:10:57 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# ld -v
GNU ld version 2.23.52.0.1-55.el7 20130226

CentOS was running on VirtualBox but in this case it's doesn't matter

I have an same error with nginx-1.11.3 and openssl-1.0.2h too but I'll try with 6b88b31

It's the same errors:

As I said earlier I think a problem with /usr/bin/ld but param -static available

# /usr/bin/ld --help
...

Can you check a version of /usr/bin/ld are you using?
and try build on http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1511.iso
