Could you try the 3ds file again with PFLD_LIBRARY_PATH set to "."
(and PFNFYLEVEL still set to 5)?
This will make pfdLoadFile print the name of each DSO it is trying to dlopen,
and, for each one that fails, it will print the output of dlerror().
When I run perfly crater.3ds, the output looks like this:

PF Debug:
PF Debug: pfdFindConverterDSO() - DSO search path is:
PF ".:"
PF ".:"
PF ":"
PF "/usr/lib/libpfdb:"
PF "/usr/share/Performer/lib/libpfdb"
PF Debug: pfdFindConverterDSO() - can't get version of libpfdu.so, using sgi2.0
PF Debug: pfdFindConverterDSO() - trying "./libpf3ds_igl.so" version "sgi2.0"
PF Debug: dlopen said: 8587:perfly: rld: Fatal Error: cannot successfully map soname './libpf3ds_igl.so' under any of the filenames ./libpf3ds_igl.so

PF Debug: dlopen said: 8587:perfly: rld: Fatal Error: cannot successfully map soname '/libpf3ds_igl.so' under any of the filenames /libpf3ds_igl.so
PF Debug: pfdFindConverterDSO() - trying "/usr/lib/libpfdb/libpf3ds_igl.so" version "sgi2.0"
PF Debug: pfdFindConverterDSO() - using DSO "/usr/lib/libpfdb/libpf3ds_igl.so"

As for the make problem-- perhaps it is running into
a swap or other resource limit on your mchine?
You might be able to get smake to behave better by invoking it
as "smake -J 1".
