gcc problems with /usr/lib/crt1.o

[servis@purdue.edu]

Debian Developers,

I recently upgraded to the hamm distribution.  Ever since the upgrade I
have not been able to compile anything with gcc.  Even a simple hello
world program fails to compile. Example:

/* hello world */
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
  printf("Hello world!\n");
  return 0;
}
/* end hello world */

tcsh% gcc -o hello hello.c
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `__libc_init_first'
/usr/lib/crt1.o(.text+0x18): undefined reference to `_environ'

I have installed egcc and g++ and they both compile this without any
problems.  I have the latest copies of the required files. I had the
'hamm' versions installed at first but those failed as well so I
upgraded to the following to see if that would fix anything, it didn't.

ii  gcc             2.7.2.3-4.5    The GNU C compiler.
ii  cpp             2.7.2.3-4.5    The GNU C preprocessor.
ii  egcc            2.90.28-0.1    The GNU (egcs) C compiler.
ii  g++             2.90.28-0.1    The GNU (egcs) C++ compiler.
ii  libc6           2.0.7pre3-1    The GNU C library version 2 (run-time files)
ii  libc6-dev       2.0.7pre3-1    The GNU C library version 2 (development fil

I did not have any problems before my upgrade to hamm.  Several people
have told me to just use g++ but that does not _fix_ the problem.  I
would really appreciate any help on this matter.  If you need more
information please let me know.

Thank you,

Brian Servis
