Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2.2-3
Severity: normal
When I try to compile a 64 bit executable on sparc, I get errors
about missing a libgcc.a file for it:
$ cat > test.c <<EOF
int main() { return 0; }
EOF
$ gcc -Wall -W -m64 -c test.c
$ gcc -Wall -W -m64 test.o
/usr/bin/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc.a when searching for -lgcc

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
A related problem seems to be, that
$ gcc -print-libgcc-file-name
and
$ gcc -m64 -print-libgcc-file-name
both report
/usr/lib/gcc/sparc-linux-gnu/4.2.3/libgcc.a
(Which I'm somewhat suspecting might be the cause for the klibc
segfaults, as that tries to build 64 bit binaries)

Thanks for you quick response. I guess I was to fixated to search for
packages with 64 in the name and there seems to be a bug in
http://packages.debian.org/search?suite=sid&arch=sparc&mode=filename&searchon =contents&keywords=libgcc.a
What is still an issue is that gcc -m64 -print-libgcc-file-name prints
a wrong filename without gcc-multilib installed. Is this worth reopening
another bug or reopen/retitle this one?
Hochachtungsvoll,
Bernhard R. Link

only if you do submit a patch. I don't intend to write a patch
myself. gcc does suggest gcc-multilib. that should be enough.
