Weird. It works fine for me on Debian unstable. What platform are you on?

So the linker failed, but it didn't actually tell us why. That's not
much to go on. Are you sure there was no other output on stderr?

I assume the reason it broke on git-credential-store is just because it
is the first thing we try to link. What does:

  make V=1 prefix=/usr/local git

output? Does it successfully link "git"?

I downloaded git-2.0.4.tar.gz and it builds and links fine.

I wiped out the 2.1.0 installation so cannot test anything more.
