[Hong Xu]

Package: clang
Version: 2.9-11
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropiate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Save the following lines as tmp.c:

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

$ clang tmp.c

   * What was the outcome of this action?

The output is:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crt1.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crtbegin.o: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_s
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)


   * What outcome did you expect instead?
The compilation should be successful.

*** End of the template - remove these lines ***
