[mpls-linux-general] make problem with mplsadm on fresh Mdk9.0 distro

[<fde...@sy...>]

Hi Jim et all,

I've build 2.4.19+ mpls-linux-1.1 on a fresh Mandrake 9.0 distro.
I've rebooted and can now see the /proc/net/mpls_* (empty) entries
I've changed the /usr/include/linux and asm link t use my new mpls kernel 
include directory.

Doing make in utils results in:

gcc -g -Wall   -c -o mplsadm.o mplsadm.c
gcc -g -static -o mplsadm2 mplsadm.o
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lc
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [mplsadm2] Error 1

The mdk 9.0 stock gcc and ld version are
gcc version 3.2 (Mandrake Linux 9.0 3.2-1mdk)
GNU ld version 2.12.90.0.15 20020717

man ld says:
       -larchive
       --library=archive
           Add archive file archive to the list of files to link.  This option
           may  be used any number of times.  ld will search its path-list for
           occurrences of "libarchive.a" for every archive specified.

           On systems which support shared libraries, ld may also  search  for
           libraries  with  extensions  other than ".a".  Specifically, on ELF
           and SunOS systems, ld will search a directory for a library with an
           extension  of  ".so"  before searching for one with an extension of
           ".a".  By convention, a ".so" extension indicates a shared library.

           The  linker will search an archive only once, at the location where
           it is specified on the command line.  If the archive defines a sym-
           bol  which  was  undefined in some object which appeared before the
           archive on the command line, the linker will include the  appropri-
           ate  file(s)  from the archive.  However, an undefined symbol in an
           object appearing later on the  command  line  will  not  cause  the
           linker to search the archive again.

           See  the -( option for a way to force the linker to search archives
           multiple times.

Where am I suppose to find the "c" "archive" (I obviously know nothing about 
ld) ?

Thanks!
