Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.13-5 Severity: normal Hi,
the moving of crt1.o, crti.o, ... from /usr/lib to /usr/lib/<triplet> breaks external applications that are not aware of the new multiarch paths. One such application is GCC from SVN, which now fails to compile with this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find crti.o: No such file or directory (seems to happen the first time the stage1 compiler is used to link something). Testing something with gcc-trunk (and eventually bisecting gcc) is something I do quite regularily. In general I like the multiarch idea and don't want to go the road back. So a possible solution I see to make such external applications work again could be the introduction of a libc6-dev-compat package that ships the links /usr/lib/*.o -> /usr/lib/<triplet>/*.o. This package should not be installed by default, but only by the admin knowing what he does.
