[LinuxBIOS] FILO link errors on AMD64

[Chris Stillo]

Stefan,

You were correct, gcc was out-of-date. Initially, I was using the latest
Debian release. After reading your hint, I decided to start from a clean
slate and re-image to SUSE 10.1. No problems with FILO compile now.

Thanks for the hints!

Chris

Which version? svn?

not me.

Is this with a clean checkout? If so, your gcc is broken as it points to
the wrong libgcc. 

What does the following command tell you?

$ gcc -m32  -print-libgcc-file-name

on my system it says:
/usr/lib64/gcc/x86_64-suse-linux/4.1.2/32/libgcc.a
                                      ^^^^ Try updating your gcc.
