When trying to build gcc-runtime_linaro-4.9.bb for qemuarm, I get the following error: === [...] | checking whether the arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-gcc -march=armv5te -marm -mthumb-interwork --sysroot=/mnt/work/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_v2014_06-eglibc/sysroots/qemuarm linker (arm-angstrom-linux-gnueabi-ld --sysroot=/mnt/work/setup-scripts/build/tmp-angstrom_v2014_06-eglibc/sysroots/qemuarm ) supports shared libraries... yes

| checking whether -lc should be explicitly linked in... no

The problem reared its head with 4.8 about a month ago, but I am not sure which update to my OE tree broke it.

Host is gentoo with profile: default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome (multilib) is enabled.

My gut feel is it is a host gcc problem? === gcc -v

Using built-in specs.

gcc version 4.7.3 (Gentoo 4.7.3-r1 p1.4, pie-0.5.5) ===

Non-linaro gcc-runtime-4.9.0.bb builds fine (as did 4.8). Any help is appreciated.
