Yes. The problematic bit was simply that I had old libraries in there, and I did not expect gcc to start prefering those during the link step, especially for dynamically linked libraries. I did not even expect gcc to be searching there. I would use a pure debian version if I could. The problem that triggered this was that gcc when built for x86-64 builds both a 32bit and a 64bit compiler so it needed a set of 32bit libraries to match the 64bit libraries I had installed in x86_64-linux. > x86-64 in > debian is under development, so it's not a "bug", I think.

The problem I reported is resolved, so I see no problem with closing the report. If there is a bug left it is the fact that gcc and ld.so by default use a different selection criteria for library directories. Would it be reasonable to file a new low priority bug against gcc and libc? Since i386-linux is rarely used I don't expect this to seen two often but I obviously tripped over it. Eric
