You are apparently linking a shared object with the static library
libsundials_fkinsol.a. So the failure is expected.

The problem is rather that there is no shared library version of fkinsol (the
Fortran interface for KINSOL). So I'm turning this bug into a wishlist for such
a shared library.

Note that changes to the build system will be required, because upstream does
not currently support that possibility.

Best,
