[Pkg-alsa-devel] Bug#422513: gcc-4.1: Can't crosscompile: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc

[Elimar Riesebieter]

Package: gcc-4.1
Version: 4.1.2-5
Severity: important

I tried to build alsa-lib 1.0.14~rc3. On both PPC and I486 it stops:

cd bibuild && CC="gcc -m64" ../configure --prefix=/usr \
                    --mandir=\${prefix}/share/man \

                    --datadir=\${prefix}/share \
                    --host=powerpc-linux-gnu \
                    --enable-static --disable-maintainer-mode
