PrepareProgram: configure failed. Compile: Preparation step failed. I was already using gcc 4.1.1, I just reinstalled it from repository to have the version linked against my new glibc, but that was before I got the message. I don't even think I tried to compile anything before I updated gcc. The mentioned error went away when I installed the binutils package. -- /Jonas PS.
