Bug#315502: gcc-3.3: [sparc] gcc -m64 fails to link binaries

[Blars Blarson <blarson@blars.org>]

Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.5-13
Severity: important
Tags: etch sid

strace and ncurses fail to build on my sparc pbuilder with the error:

checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables

running on up-to-date testing, I duplicate the error compiling strace
and find in configure.log:

configure:2424: gcc -m64 -V </dev/null >&5
gcc: `-V' must come at the start of the command line
configure:2427: $? = 1
configure:2450: checking for C compiler default output file name
configure:2453: gcc -m64    conftest.c  >&5
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s_64
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
configure:2456: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:

configure:2495: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.


libgcc_s_64.so is present in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-linux/3.3.5/

I see that it is in a subdirectory of /usr/lib/gcc/ in the 3.4.4 and
4.0.1 versions of gcc.
