Bug#631926: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s

[Marius Mikucionis <mmikucionis@gmail.com>]

Package: gcc-4.5
Version: 4.5.3-3
Severity: important

Basically after recent upgrade I cannot compile anything.
Here is a simple procedure:

Get a small C program (there is nothing special about it):
$ wget "http://burtleburtle.net/bob/c/jenny.c";


Compile:

$ gcc-4.5 jenny.c
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

So I looked for libgcc:
$ gcc-4.5 -print-libgcc-file-name
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.5.3/libgcc.a

which is different from a working gcc-4.6 setup:
$ gcc-4.6 -print-libgcc-file-name
/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.6.1/libgcc.a

Then I looked at /etc/ld.so.conf.d/

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  15 2010-05-05 14:50 atlas.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 108 2011-06-13 02:10 i486-linux-gnu.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  44 2007-11-29 22:21 libc.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  65 2008-02-09 17:24 libR.conf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  56 2011-06-13 02:21 zz_amd64-biarch-compat.conf

And content of i486-linux-gnu.conf is:
# Multiarch support
/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu
/lib/i486-linux-gnu
/usr/lib/i486-linux-gnu

I think that something is wrong with the way gcc-4.5 directories are organized, or an ld configuration is missing.

Please help.
