I had the same problem on a Debian 4.0. After a LOT of googling i found a solution that allowed me to compile it properly. The problems is that there are some options passed to the linker which makes it croak on this error (-Wl,-no-undefined). So what you can do is to tell the linker to ignore this but changing /usr/lib/libc.so (this is a text file). Normally the content would be something like:

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a )

You now change it to:

/* GNU ld script
   Use the shared library, but some functions are only in
   the static library, so try that secondarily.  */
OUTPUT_FORMAT(elf32-i386)
GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a AS_NEEDED ( /lib/ld-linux.so.2 ) )

If you are running on a 64bit system you might need to change the /lib/ld-linux.so.2 reference to /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. If you wanna dig around, i found the "solution" at http://www.mailinglistarchive.com/gcc@gcc.gnu.org/msg04203.html

Yes, thanks a lot - editing /usr/lib/libc.so fixed the problem - IMHO worth of including into FAQ.

[lievenmoors]

I have the same problem on my LFS system. The solution presented here does not work for me, as I am using an older glibc, which does not accept the AS_NEEDED keyword. I think a lot more users are unable to solve this problem. I have compiled thousands of programs before, and have never seen this problem during compilation.

[frosgate]

I ran into the same problem building on Slackware 11.0. Adding the AS_NEEDED entry did not work, as the version of binutils that comes stock with Slackware 11.0, binutils-2.15.92.0.2, was too old to recognize that keyword. I upgraded binutils to version 2.18, and then was able to use the AS_NEEDED keyword to resolve this issue.

[lennart]

Uh, this is not a bug in PA, but in your gcc+glibc combo then. Closing this now.
