library not found for -lcrt0.o when building on mac

[Caleb Whiting]

Hi all,

I’m trying to use crosstool-ng to build a toolchain for my mac to 
cross-compile ffmpeg for my Raspberry Pi.  I’m new here, but my 
understanding is that this is the place to come to ask for help.

Being new here, I run the risk of coming across like a help vampire who 
expects everyone else to do the work for me.  I really don’t want to 
be that type of person, but my ignorance puts me at risk for doing it in 
spite of myself.

So far my experience with ct-ng has been very good.  I’ve ran into 
many, many errors through this whole process but I’ve always been able 
to fix them by googling and then patching some source file or installing 
a missing tool.  So far I’ve been able to compile ct-ng, configure it, 
but things are failing at the `ct-ng build` step and I just can’t seem 
to figure out what the problem is.  So I’m resorting to ask for 
help/suggestions.  Here is the tail end of my build.log:

I’m running Mac OS 10.10.3 with command line dev tools installed.  
(But not Xcode itself.)

Thanks,
