Don't use -L (or -I) options pointing into a sysroot; ld cares about 
whether it found a given library via a sysrooted or nonsysrooted path, so 
using such a -L option can result in a linker script in the sysroot being 
misinterpreted (absolute paths therein not being interpreted as relative 
to the sysroot).

However, I don't think that's your issue.  You should have 
libmvec_nonshared.a; it's needed to deal with cases when the compiler 
generates calls to _Z*___*_finite because of bits/math-finite.h being in 
effect together with bits/math-vector.h (see 
sysdeps/x86_64/fpu/svml_finite_alias.S and 
<https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2015-06/msg00173.html>).
