Linking fails, glibc errors

[Stefan Bruda]

Hi all.

I am trying to compile XEmacs on my test YDL3 box.  It is a brand new
installation, yum-updated, so it features the following relevant
packages:

glibc-utils-2.3.1-51a
glibc-common-2.3.1-51a
glibc-kernheaders-2.4-7.20
glibc-2.3.1-51a
glibc-devel-2.3.1-51a
libgcc-3.2.2-2a
gcc-3.2.2-2a
gcc-c++-3.2.2-2a

I get slapped with the following errors in the linking phase:

/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x1e): In function
`__libc_csu_init':
: undefined reference to `__init_array_start'
/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x22): In function
`__libc_csu_init':

/usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a(elf-init.oS)(.text+0x8e): In function
`__libc_csu_fini':
: undefined reference to `__fini_array_end'

The thing compiles (and links) fine with GCC 2.95.4 and glibc 2.2.5.
What am I missing?

TIA,
Stefan
