I really don't know. Actually, I'd halfway overlooked the fact that
your errors are occurring _during_ your compilation. But that does not
explain why _all_ your apps are pointing to /lib/tls. I have only a
couple of other ideas.
1. Do you have an environment LIBRARY_PATH set? Probably not. I'd
suppose that gcc is looking in /lib/tls because it's a SYSTEM thing.
2. Could it be a locales problem ?
