Yes, this seems to be the correct assumption. Are there any
configuration files for gcc that might cause this? It seems that gcc is
stopping short in doing the library searches. Have you tried something
like this?
(export IFS=:; for i in `gcc -print-search-dirs`; do echo $i; done)

Actually, this is not really productive, I don't think. What I was
suggesting was to run gcc and get some names of these undefined
references and then search for these references in the libraries. But
this would probably be a waste of time.

Hmm.. when I run ldd -r, all I get is
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x80000000)
