It appears that about 20  different libs in /usr/lib have
dependencies on other libraries and show the NEEDED flag.
All the NEEDED libs are listed with hard coded paths.

Ok, I just downloaded CVS binutils, configured it with
     ./configure --enable-shared
and built it with
     gmake
and applied the my PATCH to ld/configure.host (attached) so that
I could gmake check-ld without a gmake error.

I get the exact same errors with ld not finding -lc:

------------------------------------------------------------
                === ld Summary ===

# of expected passes            10
# of unexpected failures        7
# of untested testcases         9
-------------------------------------------------------------



My attached patch is the same one as I offered in my first
post from this thread.   I think an attachment is the appropriate 
way to deal with the long lines in it.


Please note we haven't covered the other check-ld error I was 
getting:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
lt-ld-new: Dwarf Error: Can't find .debug_abbrev section.
tmpdir/sr1.o(.debug_info+0x6): undefined reference to `__abbr_table_1.0'
lt-ld-new: Dwarf Error: Can't find .debug_abbrev section.
tmpdir/sr2.o(.debug_info+0x6): undefined reference to `__abbr_table_1.0'
FAIL: S-records
-------------------------------------------------------------------------



Thanks again,
Matthew
