Bug#498744: gcc -m32 seems to ignore -L flag
Package: gcc, ia32-libs
Version: 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21)
I am getting the oft-reported "skipping incompatible /usr/bin/../lib/
libc.a when searching for -lc" problem when trying to compile 32 bit
binaries on a 64-bit machine. However, I have tried all of the usual
fixes and none of them work. In particular, gcc seems to be ignoring
my -L flag:
[ron@monster1:~]$ dpkg -l gcc
Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-
installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:
