That's impossible for any moderately recent version...
And from your other message your code seems to be 2.8.2rel.1.
Does -tlog appear in the list from 'lynx -help'?

The -tlog is just to switch the trace destination from a file ~/Lynx.trace
to stderr, apparently your version does that automatically...

What flags did you give to ./configure?
Try to compile a version without extras, esp. without NSL_FORK
(--disable-nsl-fork), to help narrow the problem down.

Check some obvious things:
  Is the version you are testing really the binary just compiled?
  Do 'rm config.cache' and 'make clean' before reconfiguring /
  recompiling in the same source tree.
  Do you have any unusual lynx.cfg settings?  Try with an empty
  lynx.cfg, or simpler 'lynx -cfg=/dev/null'.

I hope someone with the same OS can help you further.

If you have a debugger, you should compile with -g (or whatever
the option is to keep debugging info) and step through HTDoConnect()
to see which call fails.
