still unhosing my compiler

[stephen farrell <stephen@farrell.org>]

So my compiler is still hosed.  I've written pretty detailed info to
this list already about it, and got some helpful suggestions
(thanks!).

However, my compiler is still hosed.  I can't link even the most
trivial program--I get this sort of smack:
	
	/tmp/cca278371.o: In function `main':
	/tmp/cca278371.o(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `_stdprintf'

This is *not* an error related to this program (or makefile, command
line for gcc, etc).  This is a hosed compiler and/or linker problem.

Reinstalling binutils, gcc, libc, libc-dev, libbfd, and just about
everything else under the sun does not seem to fix the problem.  

However, I would like much to get my compiler back on-line.  If I
don't get any other suggestions, I guess I'll have to reinstall from
_scratch_.... 

But there has to be a better way, right?  Is there a way for me to
force dpkg into reinstalling _everything_?
