[Bug 832178] [NEW] Can not build gcc using gcc 4.6.x shipped with oneiric

[Khem Raj]

Public bug reported:

I am trying to build upstream gcc-4.6.1 from downloaded tarball but it
fails to compile as it ends with following error

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [libgcc_s.so] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/kraj/work/gcc-4.6.1/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/libgcc'
make[2]: *** [all-stage1-target-libgcc] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/kraj/work/gcc-4.6.1'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/kraj/work/gcc-4.6.1'
make: *** [all] Error 2

My configure command is

./configure --enable-languages=c --disable-werror --disable-multilib

The reason seems to be that the newly generated driver is not able to
find crt* files w.r.t. the libdir and seaches them in current obj dir
itself proabably due to libdir in oneiric has moved into /usr/lib/<arch
>-linux-gnu/

If I use --libdir=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu then it compiles ok but that
should not be required.
