Problems running CT-NG

Problems running CT-NG

[Michael Eager]

I've been having problems using the repository version
of crosstools-ng, so I downloaded the latest release,
crosstools-ng-1.14.1.  I'm having similar problems.

I've tried to build the samples armeb-unknown-linux-uclibcgnueabi
and armeb-unknown-linux-gnueabi.   I made two small changes to the
config:  point to a tarball directory and eliminate building debugging
tools.

I get the same build failure that I'm seeing with the repo version.
[ALL  ]    /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lstdc++
...
[ERROR]  >>  Build failed in step 'Installing static core C compiler'

This is clearly the result of the link being done with this option:
    -Wl,-Bstatic,-lstdc++,-Bdynamic

Can someone tell me what, if anything, I'm doing incorrectly?
I expected that the samples would build, but that does not seem
to be the case.

You need to install the 'development' package that contains the static
version of libstdc++. On debian, this is 'libstdc++6.4.4-dev' (or another
version string, depending on your debian version, of course). For other
distros, probably a package ending in -devel, or the likes.

Thanks.  On Fedora, the package is libstdc++-static.
Perhaps this should be either in the sanity checks at the start
or in the Known Issues file.
