I had a similar error once. If I remember well (can't check it for you=20
right now), it was caused when invoking ld directly.

If that is the case with you also, try invoking ld through gcc (which is=20
recommended for regular purposes); this rises the chances that crt2.o is=20
found.

So, instead of

     ld -shared -o foo.so foo.o ...

do

     gcc -shared -o foo.so foo.o ...


Beware of the rather big difference w.r.t. passing linker flags if you=20
change the invocation (not shown here, see the manual for gcc and ld).
