No, I'm afraid there isn't one. The project wasn't fully ported to gcc
4 at the time of the snapshot, and this bit still isn't implemented
today (you should be able to build and use an archive library with gcc
without needing this file). You should also be able to avoid this error
when building a shared library by deleting the line that defines the
MAPFILE make variable from the generated $BUILDDIR/makefile.in file.

We don't have an issue for this yet – thanks for raising it! Let me
go ahead and enter it in the bug database. (I'm CC'ing the lists as
a cross-reference).
